UC Denver’s Business School: Support a Great Enterprise
A new building in the heart of downtown Denver is a critical component of the Business School’s vision to be a leading public urban business school. Integrating the school into the fabric of the business community to maximize collaborative partnerships and engagement, the building holds promise for students, faculty, and Colorado’s business community alike.
Donors are stepping in to make the vision a reality. EnCana Oil & Gas made a $1 million lead gift toward renovations for the building that will house the school located at 1475 Lawrence Street. A long-time supporter who helped launch the school’s new Global Energy Management (GEM) degree, EnCana’s is enabling the GEM program to have a preeminent place in the new Business School building.
The excitement is widespread. For faculty, it will be a home that showcases their talent and pays homage to those who’ve helped build the school’s intellectual foundation. This year Wayne Cascio, professor of management at the Business School, was named the Robert H. Reynolds Chair in Global Leadership—after a $1.5 million bequest from the late Robert H. Reynolds and his wife, Viola. Reynolds, a successful, highly respected leader in the international import/export business in the 1950s, recognized the importance of a global business school in Denver and left a corresponding legacy.
Donor investment in a great business school is shaping Denver’s future. Wise investments from EnCana Oil & Gas, the Reynolds’, and many more are paving the way.
