Graduate Business Fund Replaces MBA Annual Fund

Posted on by

To respond to the growing needs of Notre Dame’s graduate business programs, the Mendoza College of Business has created the Graduate Business Fund. This fund effectively replaces the MBA Annual Fund.

Alumni and friends who give to the Graduate Business Fund support the key priorities of the MBA, EMBA, MNA, MSA, and MSM (formerly MSB) programs. The Fund offers a convenient way to directly and immediately benefit every aspect of the Graduate Business experience at Notre Dame. Donors may choose to direct support to the specific program of their choice.

The first Graduate Business Fund campaign will begin with a mailing that is scheduled to drop on Tuesday, September 30. It will be sent to Graduate Business alumni excluding Double Domers.

Please visit http://supporting.nd.edu/annual-giving/graduate-business-fund/ for more information.

Please contact Jim Cunningham at jcunni10@nd.edu with any questions.
