Wisconsin Naming Gift
In 2007, 13 alumni came together to create an $85 million naming gift to preserve the School’s name for at least 20 years. The Wisconsin Naming Partners pioneered a new era for the Wisconsin School of Business, providing critical funding to support significant growth in our faculty and student body. Since its inception, the partnership has grown to include 17 members and more than $110 million in investments. We remember and honor those partners who are no longer with us: Wade Fetzer, Pete Frechette, and Albert O. Nicholas.
