2013 Graduating Class Gift
*Breaking News: Dean's Challenge Update*
Dean Peter Tufano personally agreed to match all student donations to this year's Graduating Class Gift. The match was intended to inspire our graduating students to set a new record for the class gift.
The deadline was July 31st, and we look forward to sharing the final results as soon as the last gifts have been counted.
Overview
The Graduating Class Gift is a long-established tradition for business schools worldwide. The student-led campaign provides students with an opportunity to mark the beginning of their lifelong relationship with the wider School community. This year's student representatives have decided to allocate their gifts towards the Dean's Development Fund, helping us to achieve our vision of becomming a 'world-leading business school, embedded in a world-class University, tackling world-scale issues'.
