Corporate and Foundation Investors Profiles

Investing in Our Mission

Corporate and foundation investors play an instrumental role in
enriching the student experience. Their generous contributions include support for fellowships, industry and diversity events, faculty research, the design of the new MBA curriculum, and the development of the new GSB campus.

Below are some examples of how the support of our corporate and foundation investors has contributed to the success of the School.

AT&T Foundation
Plans for the new Knight Management Center continue to take shape
due in part to the generosity of the AT&T Foundation. In 2007, the foundation awarded a $1 million grant to the School’s Technology Innovation Fund for the planning and development of technology for
the new campus. This support will provide our students and faculty with
a cutting-edge, technologically savvy learning environment for the
study and practice of management education.

General Motors
The Graduate School of Business has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with General Motors geared towards innovative programs that instill a global, managerial mindset in our students. This year, General Motors supported the Innovation Fund at the Center for Global Business and the Economy. Through this fund, faculty affiliated with the Center researched issues that impact global business and infused courses and programs with current thinking on the inherent
complexities of international business. The Center’s Innovation Fund
also supported the new Global Experience Requirement launched in fall 2007.

Eli Lilly and Company
In the 30 years since Eli Lilly and Company began supporting the Business School, it has become an increasingly active member of the community. The company has participated in the Partnership for Diversity/Bonini Fellows Program and has sponsored a variety of
student events and programs, including the Latino Leadership Banquet and the Health Care Symposium. We are grateful for Eli Lilly’s ongoing investment and the ways in which it has enriched student life.
