3 Reasons
to Give
1 Invest in Talent
I give to Ross with fond memories of the professors who
had a profound effect on the way I think. Talent like that
isn’t free. It’s important for the school to continue to
attract talented and dedicated teachers.
2 Invest in Imagination
Visit Ross and you’ll find it’s not so much the building that
dazzles. It’s the energy that animates it. The place hums
with the creativity and imagination of students running at
full throttle. In that sense, the school feels very much like
the place from which I graduated in 1984. Though, like
most of us, it’s probably a little better dressed today.
3 Invest in Possibility
I give because Ross brought me an incredible set of
opportunities I never could have imagined. The school
took a poor kid who grew up in Ypsilanti, Mich., and
allowed him to operate in a global business environment
from Paris and London to the capitals of Asia.
