IN A YEAR when money was scarcer than normal, the MBA Class of 2002 showed unusual generosity, setting a record for a class gift. As of July 8, an unprecedented 91 percent of the class had participated and pledged more than $311,000, shattering the old dollar record by more than $137,000.

The class also broke with the model of picking a specific building project to fund. Instead they helped support MBA fellowships and expansion of the second-year seminars, a year-old program that allows returning MBAs to spend an intensive week in a small group with a faculty member whose research interests them.

“The gift will be commemorated with a plaque in Knight Plaza,” Dean Robert Joss said. “We hope it will be the start of another great GSB tradition.”
