What is the Annual Vision Fund? The Vision Fund draws on the combined strength of our donors to meet the following strategic needs of our school:
• Student and alumni services including career development and mentoring programs, student clubs and organizations and the administration of global study tours
• The recruitment and retention of outstanding professors doing original research
• The development of new curriculum
Last year, with the combined support of our donors we achieved a new historic record for the Rotman Annual Vision Fund: $681,000.
Our Success Belongs to You
ANNUAL VISION FUND LEADERSHIP CAMPAIGN 2012–2013
Message from the Dean, Roger Martin This year marks the beginning of an important new stage for the Rotman School, with the opening of our state-of-the-art new build-ing, admission of a larger MBA class and implementation of a revamped first-year curriculum.
Our ambition to be a truly world-class business school depends on these kinds of advances, crucially supported by our donors and alumni. As we transition into a new phase, I would like to pause to thank all of you who have played such an important role in our journey so far.
Your donations continue to make all the difference.
Martha EggenbergerThe opportunity to be involved in student clubs was not just a bonus --- I learned how to bring value to the table. It was a rehearsal for my future.
Karina LingThe key impact was the professors who had a passion for teaching and who made a lasting impression. It was our privilege to take classes with these intellectual giants and have them share their knowledge with us.
