Wisconsin Naming Gift
In October 2007, the Wisconsin School of Business announced an unprecedented gift totaling $85 million from 13 alumni who formed the “Wisconsin Naming Partnership” to support the school’s mission.
This innovative partnership provides a naming gift that will preserve the Wisconsin name for at least 20 years. During that time, the school will not be named for a single donor or entity. This naming partnership will uphold tradition and greatly enhance the value of the school to students, the campus, and the state.
