Strategic Priorities Fund

Currently, the strategic priorities each have different levels of financial backing.  However, because all 11 priorities are important to successful fulfillment of the college’s mission, the Trulaske College of Business is seeking private support of this vital set of initiatives.  Thus a Strategic Priorities Fund has been created, and gifts to this new fund will be used and allocated among the priorities through a competitive review process.

Gifts of at least $25,000 to the Strategic Priorities Fund, as well as unrestricted gifts of that size, will receive naming recognition in Cornell Hall.  Donors will be honored by having a classroom, office, or other part of Cornell Hall named in their honor, consistent with the size of their gift.

The Strategic Plan

The college is committed to fulfilling its mission of preparing our students to succeed in the world of business and advancing the body of knowledge about the world of business.  To do this, the planning committee set 11 priorities for the college between now and 2010-11.  Properly addressing and successfully implementing these priorities will enable MU’s Trulaske College of Business to build on its strengths and differentiate itself from other business schools.
