Record Class Gift Aids Global Center

Class gifts are getting larger, and participation continues to be high. This year, the MBA Class of 2004 pledged $336,780 to the Business School’s new Center for Global Business and the Economy, to be paid over the next four years. It is the largest dollar amount ever raised by a graduating class. A full 78 percent of the graduating students pledged an average of $1,149.

Their gift highlights another trend in class giving. In the past few years MBA classes have chosen to support programs rather than give physical objects. In 2002, a record 91 percent of the class contributed to the second-year seminar series and international student fellowships. The MBA Class of 2003, previous top giver with a total pledge of $334,332, chose to support the Career Management Center in building a new database for independent job searches.
