Students, staff, faculty give big thanks to donors

By Laura Counts

Berkeley Haas students, faculty, and staff stopped by the Bank of America Forum last month to thank donors, and to acknowledge the fact that tuition only covers about half of the cost of running Haas. Philanthropy covers one-third of the other half.

Donor Appreciation Week is celebrated each January, halfway through the school year, to honor donors’ generosity.

Students, faculty, and staff wrote hundreds of personal notes, thanking benefactors for keeping Haas a top-ranked business school. Many students reflected on the value of their Berkeley Haas education and shared their commitment to become supporters of the school one day.

Dean Lyons, BS 82, had this to say: “This outstanding institution would not be what it is—not anywhere close—without private support like yours. Thanks for being part of all the momentum.”
