A Letter From Jonathan Stern<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to the Tepper School community!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This past year was remarkable for the school, and our donors and volunteers made it possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the generosity and involvement of alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends, the school launched a bold, new strategic plan, celebrated 75 years of innovation, honored two decades of David Tepper\u2019s transformational gift, and marked 30 years of MSCF excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milestones like these reflect our spirit and the strength of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What inspires me most is how these milestones come to life through you. You collectively contributed more than $3.3M<\/strong> in annual giving to scholarships, fellowships, faculty support, and programs. Nearly 350<\/strong> of you gave your time and expertise as volunteers. Thousands joined us at events virtually and around the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your generosity makes this possible. You help us honor our legacy, embrace today\u2019s momentum, and look ahead with excitement to the future. For that, and for the many ways you show up for the school, I am grateful. Together, we are empowering the next generation of bold leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep in touch and visit our Alumni Community site<\/a> to see what your fellow alumni are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With thanks and best regards,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Stern
Assistant Dean of Advancement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
