Giving Priorities
Four key priorities. One incredible legacy.
As a state institution, it’s private support that pushes our impact over the top, including the rankings of our programs. And, as any great business school should, we’ve identified the key strategic places where funding can amplify the returns the world will see on these investments. With a focus on scholarships, academic programs, faculty support and capital and special projects, every gift adds up to something greater.
Scholarships
Make it possible for students to rise over barriers and around the world. Eller undergraduate and graduate scholarships expand our reach and our students’ potential. They come here to study, and they leave with well-developed leadership.
Faculty Support
By recruiting outstanding faculty, Eller has the human firepower to prepare students to lead in the working world. And, we have the mind power to explore the very frontiers of research with implications that touch our everyday lives. Our faculty are answering questions on digital business, tax policies, researching the impact of marketing on our behavior and even determining how we can know if someone is telling the truth.
Academic Programs
When you give to our academic programs, you give our departments the freedom to think big and reach high. We can facilitate real-world experiences for our students in every subject—developing industry-responsive courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. We can pursue more opportunities for students and faculty to work side-by-side on complex research projects. And we can launch outreach programs, such as those aimed at introducing high school students to the notion of big data analytics, the basics of economics and every other field that intersects with the business world.
Capital and Special Projects
Top-quality learning environments set the stage for everything we do—and it’s time to reimagine our 25-year-old home, McClelland Hall, with building enhancements, an Estes Atrium renovation and a Tech Core and Data Science Lab. Also high priorities: the Robert Lusch Endowment, Jay Nunamaker Endowment, special event sponsorship opportunities and the Dan Dhaliwal Endowment in Accounting to name the School of Accountancy.
Senior Class Gift
The Eller senior class gift is the ideal way for you to leave a positive and lasting impact on the Eller College of Management. If in the last four years you’ve had class with an exceptional professor, were involved in an exciting team or event, or met someone at the College who has shaped your life in some way, this is your chance to say, thank you! You can help ensure that future students have the same opportunities.
