In our formative years, each of us learned in ways that no test could evaluate or assess.
We can easily recall experiences we had with teachers, mentors, and others who inspired

us, challenged us to face tough questions head-on, and encouraged us to take risks in the
pursuit of discovery.

This is higher education at its best. We call our professors thought leaders for the expertise
they bring to their felds and for their ability to help students see beyond perceived

boundaries. We look to our professors to generate breakthrough moments for Rochester,
our nation, and our world.

The value of endowed professorships extends well beyond the Simon School’s footprint.

Your gift will empower exceptional minds and embolden our most talented faculty
members to imagine, explore, and create. These are the pursuits that will change lives.

Donors who support endowed professorships often say they do so not for themselves, but
for those who follow. They wish to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, analysts,

and researchers. We encourage you to join the Simon campaign where, together, we will
pioneer an “ever better” Rochester and an “ever better” world.
