A Message from the Dean
Giving to the UConn School of Business supports two primary objectives:
- •Ensuring financial support for the full cost of attendance, while preparing every member of our community to be effective and financially secure citizens and lifelong learners;
- •Providing opportunities to turn knowledge into action, to learn by doing, work with real organizations, and create meaningful impact through our experiential learning initiatives. Fostering these experiences through partnerships with industry is what differentiates UConn Nation from our peers.
Your support makes these experiences and world-class learning opportunities possible.
I encourage you to support the area of the School of Business that matters most to you. We have highlighted several options above, but if you are looking for guidance, the following School-wide funds are especially effective ways to provide immediate, high-impact support:
- •The Financial Literacy Innovation Program (FLIP) Support Fund reflects our commitment to expanding opportunity. The program reaches high school students from under-resourced communities, providing peer-to-peer mentorship and financial education that can help them envision and pursue new possibilities. Donor support also provides scholarships that offer supplemental aid to cover the full cost of attendance at UConn.
- •The School of Business Dean's Fund gives us the flexibility to respond quickly to emerging needs and opportunities where they can make the greatest difference for our students, faculty, and broader School community. We use these funds to support educational opportunities arising from students' initiative and entrepreneurial spirit, as well as new partnerships with academic and industry partners that enhance the student experience.
- •The CT Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation helps turn promising student ideas into real ventures. Too often, innovative ideas never get the chance to develop because early-stage funding is difficult to find. Your support provides seed funding to help move innovation from the academic environment toward the launch of viable startups. Past CCEI participants recently celebrated a $2 billion milestone in follow-on funding, a remarkable testament to the impact your gifts can bring to life.
Together, we can continue to build a business education that is rigorous and relevant, grounded in experience, and focused on creating positive impact in Connecticut and around the world.
Every gift makes a difference. Thank you for investing in our students and in the future of business leadership, innovation, and impact.
With appreciation,
Bob Day
