Philanthropic support after graduation is a wonderful way to help ensure the future vitality and strength of your B-school. Ongoing support is essential to Owen’s ability to continue leading in management education and research.
Donors give to Owen in a variety of ways. Gifts to the annual fund are typically unrestricted and support the operating budget of the school. Capital gifts often finance important construction or renovation projects. Gifts to the endowment are usually special gifts of significant sums, made to establish specific programs, scholarships, or faculty chairs.
Regardless of the nature of the gift, Owen remains grateful to the many alumni, corporations and friends who support the ongoing efforts and needs of the school.
What goes around truly does come around.
If you take a close look at Owen, you’ll discover a school that takes a 360 degree approach to educating tomorrow’s business leaders. A place where circles of classmates and colleagues tackle challenges together. Where straight line thinking gives way to innovation, camaraderie and collegiality.
The Owen Circle is an exceptional, engaged group of alumni, parents and friends who are dedicated to the support and advancement of the school. With their generosity and involvement, Owen is educating a new generation of leaders and increasing its sphere of influence throughout the business community.
Thanks to the Owen Circle’s help, we’ve created innovative new programs in finance and health care, undertaken much-needed classroom renovations, and started Accelerator, a summer institute that provides b-school fundamentals to students with liberal arts backgrounds. But, of course, to keep improving on every level, we need more. In fact, we need you.
