Help Us Build the Future
 By
Dean Gail Naughton
The beautiful building pictured below has been a dream and focus
of mine for some time now. Why a new building? Quite simply, we
have outgrown the capacity of our current facility. Throughout the
years, we have worked hard to build strong programs like the Entrepreneurial
Management Center, Hospitality and Tourism Management and Center
for Economic and Community Development. These programs are currently
scattered across SDSU’s campus. A new building brings students,
faculty, and staff of multiple disciplines together under one roof
to collaborate and leverage our expertise and synergies.
Private financial support is vital to make this building
reality. We have two, large naming opportunities available now.
Firstly, we seek an endowment of $25 million to name our College.
This transformational gift will help to ensure the funding of our
nationally recognized and innovative programs, faculty recruitment
and retention and enhanced student support. Many of the top ranked
business schools have been named after their donors and this has
helped with branding their college, as well.
Secondly, for $15 million, a donor can name this professional
new facility. A new building will bring all our students, faculty
and programs together under one roof and provide a state-of-the-art
learning environment. The building will accommodate executive training
and alumni gatherings, as well.
A new home will create a vital branding element by
bringing more visibility to the college and its central role in
San Diego. Naming opportunities also will be available for spaces
within the 170,000 square-foot building.
Now is the time to take our College to the next level
and build the type of facility we can all take pride in. Please
join me in the quest to fulfill this dream to benefit future generations.
