We believe that education is a transformational force that shapes the future of business and society. None of this would be possible without the generous support of our dedicated donors, alumni, corporate partners, and friends. Every year, we take a moment to express our gratitude at our "Thanks for Giving" event—an evening dedicated to celebrating those who give their time, talent, and resources to empower our students, faculty, and programs.
This year, we were honored to gather at Karma Automotive, where CEO Marques McCammon graciously hosted an unforgettable evening for our supporters. Against the backdrop of Karma’s cutting-edge automotive designs, guests experienced firsthand the spirit of innovation that drives both our business school and the Southern California business community. The event provided a unique opportunity to engage with fellow supporters, reflect on the year's successes, and recognize the collective impact of our donor community.
The support we receive fuels our mission in countless ways. It allows us to:
Thanks to our generous community, 2024 has been a landmark year for the Merage School, filled with accomplishments that would not have been possible without your contributions.
As we reflect on the year and look forward to an even brighter 2025, we extend our deepest appreciation to all who support our mission. Whether through financial contributions, mentorship, or advocacy, you are making a lasting difference.
On behalf of the entire Merage School community, we thank you for giving and wish you a joyous holiday season and a successful new year!
