Honor Roll of Donors From the Development Director I am delighted to join my alma mater as the new Development Director for the Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business. During my fi rst few months on the job, I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet many of you and learn fi rst-hand the important role Lubar School alumni play in our community. My background includes experience in the Milwaukee business community as a professional in the insurance industry. I return to UWM with the fi rm belief in the importance of higher education and life-long learning — both for personal and professional growth. That is why — as an MBA graduate of the Lubar School — I am very proud of the tremendous progress that the business school and the university have made in recent years. And I am excited to now be part of it again by raising funds for the many important programs and initiatives within the business school. I encourage you to be part of it, too, by Honor Roll of Donors connecting with the Lubar School — by taking a class that augments your career, returning for your MBA, hiring our students, or giving back through a charitable gift to support student scholarships, academic programs, or faculty excellence. Thank you for your support and commitment to the Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business — and I look forward to meeting you.
