In 2022, Fuqua will celebrate the 50th anniversary of graduating our first MBA class—the Daytime MBA Class of 1972. Many things have changed over the past 50 years on both local and global scales. Alumni donors have been instrumental in the school’s 50-year history, taking Fuqua from a small southeastern U.S. business school to a leading institution in global business education. Fuqua alumni and friends made this possible through their generous investments—a tribute to Team Fuqua’s love of and commitment to the school and to one another.

In acknowledgement of the changing landscape of business education from 1972 to now, Fuqua is changing the membership criteria for the Thomas F. Keller Leadership Donor Society. Since its inception as a school, Fuqua has defined a “leadership” gift as a donation of $1,000 or more. To be on par with peer business schools, recognize inflation since the establishment of this level, and continue to increase vital resources that come through philanthropy, Fuqua is raising its leadership gift level. As of July 1, 2021, donors making annual gifts of $2,500 or more will qualify for membership in the Thomas F. Keller Leadership Donor Society. Students and recent graduates up to four years post-graduation will be able to join the Keller Society with a minimum gift of $1,000.

With these changes to Fuqua’s leadership donor level, the school is kicking off a new three-year challenge to increase membership in the Keller Society. The Keller Society Step-Up Challenge aims to inspire new members to demonstrate their leadership in our community. Please consider joining the Keller Society to help Fuqua reach its goals and encourage those in your Fuqua network to join you.

These are ambitious goals, but history shows how Team Fuqua comes together for one another and the school, time and time again.
