BU Alumni Gift Renames School of Management
Boston University has announced that the Boston University School of Management has been renamed the Questrom School of Business in honor of alumnus Allen Questrom and his wife Kelli. The couple recently donated a gift of $50 million to the School through their Allen and Kelli Questrom Foundation. The gift will go to the endowment of 10 faculty chairs and enable planning to establish a new graduate program facility. The gift is the largest gift in the University’s history.
The new graduate program facility will be an addition of new 60,000-square-foot classroom space that will connect to its existing building. James Post, emeritus professor of markets, public policy and law, calls the donation shows that the Questroms recognized that physical space shapes an organization’s culture. “We cannot be the kind of school we aspire to be without the necessary square footage,” said Post.
