Georgia Tech Alumnus Gives $50 Million Donation
Georgia Tech Institute
Today Georgia Tech announced the single largest financial gift donation to the school and renamed the institute’s former College of Management for the donor.
The $50 million dollars will go a long way in attracting top students in department such as the college of computing says Dean Steve Salbu.
Salbu is a professor of business ethics and says the donation helps programs attract the best and brightest, “the combination of engineering and business or computing and business at a top university like Georgia Tech is so attractive to these students.”
He calls the man behind the gift, Ernest Scheller Jr., a friend and philanthropist who cares about the institute.
“Ethics and integrity are so important to him and for that reason it’s especially heartening to me that we’ve got a man who I respect so much whose name is now going to be on our letterhead and on the front of our building.”
So now the College of Management has been renamed the Ernest Scheller Jr. College of Business.
Scheller is a 1952 graduate of Georgia Tech.
