Capital Campaign Announced
Will Expand Scholarships, Research Support, and Facilities

"The campaign gives our friends, alumni, and corporate partners an opportunity to ensure that future generations of students receive the excellent education that has been a hallmark of this institution," said Ghosh. The Investing in Excellence campaign secured commitments for over one-third of the desired funds even before its public announcement.

A large portion of the funds raised will be used toward construction of a new instructional facility for the College that will be located across the street from the current home of the College of Business, Wohlers Hall, where administrative offices will remain. The proposed instructional facility will have approximately 155,000 square feet and provide more than 20 state-of-the-art classrooms for graduate and undergraduate instruction, along with seminar and conference rooms, a career center, student services center, accountancy center, and a trading simulation and financial research center.

Two College of Business alumni, Michael Tokarz, president of a New York-based private equity firm, and Avy Stein, managing partner of a Chicago-based private equity firm, are serving as co-chairs of the campaign. Both men serve on the College of Business Board of Overseers and as co-chairs of the campaign steering committee.

Ghosh and the campaign leadership are confident of success. "The loyalty and support of alumni and friends are critical to building exceptional educational opportunities for our students," he said. "By investing in the College of Business, our alumni and friends will extend the institution's legacy of excellence."
