Help Gies Business continue to deliver
life-changing access to a business education
Our alumni are globally connected. They are also personally invested. With more than 70,000 alumni across the world, our network is big and broad. It’s also very engaged, very loyal, and very generous. That generosity makes a difference in the lives of students, in the work of faculty members, and in the way business leaders are prepared for the future.
