Celebrate 25 Years By Giving Back!

It's hard to believe that it has been 25 years since we walked the halls of Posner Hall. In honor of this special milestone and in memory of our GSIA experience and education, let's join together in support of the Tepper School.

This year we are challenging our class to reach 30% class gift participation. We need your help to meet our goal of 70 Class of 1996 Tepper School donors!

GSIA Class of 1996 Campaign

By contributing to our class gift campaign, your generosity will provide essential support to the Tepper Unrestricted Endowment.

The Unrestricted Endowment not only helps to sustain the future of the Tepper School by building our endowment but also provides necessary yearly operational support for the school. 

During the 2020 academic year, the unrestricted endowment provided funding for faculty research, the Center for Behavioral and Decision Research, and for the International Energy and Commodity Markets Conference.

Each year, this unrestricted account is available to support student, faculty, and programmatic needs as they arise, providing Tepper School leadership with the flexibility and financial resources to address operational needs and carry out their vision for the school. This flexibility is essential as the school shifts how business education is delivered during a pandemic.

Help our GSIA Class of 1996 leave a positive legacy for current and future students by making a class gift contribution today.
