The Merage School - Dean’s Highest Priority

When you support our faculty, you support our students. Your gift provides much needed funding for best-in-class faculty and research, and advances the work of the Merage School, impacting the business community through thought leadership and teaching.

 

Our goal for Giving Day this year is 100% participation.  Every gift, no matter the amount, sends a message to our student body that we believe in our work, we believe in them and we care about making an impact on our school.  All gifts made today will support the Dean’s Initiative Fund and benefit students whose lives are changed by higher education.

 

The Paul Merage School of Business is also featuring the following priorities.  Please click below to learn more.
