“There’s a saying in journalism, as well as in business, that a good idea doesn’t care where it came from, and I think that a good school shouldn’t care where a good student comes from. I couldn’t be more pleased with Northwestern’s mission to help students of limited means but unlimited potential. The University has helped a great many people to prosper over the years, and giving back on a regular basis assures that new generations of scholars will enjoy the benefits of an excellent Northwestern education.

“Professionally and personally, I owe the University a great deal. My Northwestern experience has returned social, business, and academic dividends to me nearly every day of my adult life. The Northwestern and Medill names carry tremendous prestige in the business world, and it is an honor and a privilege to give something back on a regular basis.”
