Why Give to the SIU College of Business?
"For many years as my career advanced, I always thought; how can I repay those who helped me achieve my goals? That giving back process leads me to think about whom really needs encouragement and support. The future is in the hands of those who will become the leaders not those of the past. As my retirement neared, my mission became to invest in the future, in those who will follow. My focus on giving back is to invest in those pursuing an education to become the leaders of the future. THAT IS WHY I GIVE."
