Alumni Leadership Challenge

One component of the Next Century Campaign strategy is the Alumni Leadership Challenge. This challenge has been extended to several alums in the hopes of raising a $2 million pool that the Class Gift Challenge can then match. The alums have been asked to take a leadership position in the campaign to encourage other alums to invest in the future of the Jones School.

The following alums have committed to Alumni Leadership Challenge gifts and pledges in excess of $50,000:

• John ’76 and Diane ’76 Mott
• Ben ’76 and Kay Mayberry
• Y.W. Henry Tsang ‘80
• Bruce ’85 and Rachel ’85 Deskin
• Keith T. Anderson ‘83
• Douglas ’92 and Sarah Foshee
• John ’93 and Tracy ’00 Dennis
• The McNair Foundation (Cal McNair ’95)
• Susan ’84 and Ed Williams, David Warren ‘99
