Alumna Pledges $2 Million to Support Jesuit Education — and Jesuits Among Us — at USF

USF can have a major impact on the education of future business leaders by focusing on Jesuit educational principles and Ignatian values, said the 1981 alumna donor, who received her MBA from the university. The gift will support the kind of “conscious capitalism” that is being taught at the School of Management, and the initiative will be called “Jesuits Among Us.”
