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.”
