Gold Spike Award Honors Rosenberg

Claude Rosenberg, MBA ’52, who received the Business School’s highest alumni honor in 1984, was conferred the university’s highest alumni prize, the Gold Spike, in June. Stanford President John Hennessy presented the honor.

An investment manager by profession, Rosenberg has been an active fundraiser and donor at Stanford for more than four decades. He was a founder of the Business School Trust, which since 1966 has grown from $100,000 to more than $80 million, and served for many years as one of its alumni investment managers. Rosenberg and his wife, Louise, created the Rosenberg Corporate Research Center at Jackson Library, helped found the Center for Social Innovation, and support a Rosenberg Faculty Scholar at the Business School.

Since selling his investment company, Rosenberg Capital Management, Rosenberg has devoted his efforts to philanthropy. He has written five books on the subject and founded the nonprofit Newtithing Group to expand on his 1993 book Wealthy and Wise: How You and America Can Get the Most Out of Your Giving. Newtithing recently released an Internet calculator called PrudentPal to assist people in determining the amount of charitable support they can afford.
