Tr ibute to Our Benefactors

Welcome to the Tribute to Our Benefactors.
As alumni and friends of the Carlson School of
Management, we’re held together by the education we
have received, by the friendships we have made, and by
the community we have built.
Perhaps most of all, we are connected by our shared
commitment to giving back to the Carlson School. We
endow scholarships and fellowships, speak in classrooms,
serve as mentors, provide internship opportunities, and
evaluate student projects. And we support the Carlson
School with decades of annual giving and by dedicating
bequests.
That’s not all, however. We also serve on boards, work
with students in the Carlson School Enterprises, and
support all levels of education—from MBA to executive,
from doctoral to undergraduate. And we’ve worked
extensively on the Undergraduate program’s expansion,
helping the Carlson School add faculty, increase
undergraduate scholarships, and—of course—build
Hanson Hall.
In the following pages, you will find inspiring stories
about alumni who give back to the Carlson School and,
I hope, you will find your own name among the ranks
of our philanthropists. I hope that you are inspired to
support our alma mater in the coming year.
Warm regards,
Bruce Beckman
