Giving to Atkinson

Atkinson Annual Fund and Dean's initiated fund

With a tradition of providing a top quality management education to its students, AGSM relies strongly on the committed support of alumni and friends to maintain this quality, and meet the demand of ever increasing costs. Tuition dollars supply only 65% of Atkinson's annual budget. The Atkinson Fund and Dean's Initiative Fund, along with endowment earnings, bridges the gap by providing much needed operating revenue. It not only serves as a very important financial vehicle for the School of Management, but also gives all alumni an opportunity to become involved in Atkinson’s future and success. The Dean's Initiative Fund and Atkinson Annual Fund supports such things as technology upgrades, faculty recruitment and retention, student academic activities, visiting executives, 'real-world' student-business projects and much more.

Gifts to this fund have supported:

• Student participation in collegiate case competitions across the nation
• Travel abroad opportunities in growing markets such as Dubai
• Expanded recruitment and admissions programs
• Technology for a ‘smart classroom’ renovation
