College of Business Dean's Strategic Fund

One of the greatest privileges as dean is witnessing firsthand the generosity of our extraordinary alumni and friends. Your support inspires us to reach higher and is a testament to the confidence you have in us. In particular, during this challenging economic environment, your charitable support is much needed and greatly appreciated. Becoming the business school of choice in Illinois requires financial investments beyond tuition and state support.


Your donation to the Dean’s Strategic Fund allows the College of Business to invest in the latest technology for the classroom, supports student outings to provide more real-world experience and offers resources for faculty so they can expand their curriculum in areas such as global business, innovation, and other programmatic transformations. 

We are proud of our students, faculty, and staff who have put into practice our core values of excellence, integrity and caring. Thank you for your impact.
