<p>Yale</a> SOM Announces Largest Alumni Gift to Date</p>
<p>damn straight</p>
<p>8888888$</p>
<p>That person’s child will be an auto-accept into Yale :)</p>
<p>a very generous donation; if only it were for the undergraduate part of yale :)</p>
<p>Before reading this, I had assumed the gift would be larger than ~$8.9M. The University of Chicago had an anonymous alumni that bequested $100M a couple years ago.</p>
<p>i guess yale doesn’t have as much love</p>
<p>No it doesn’t. Alas.</p>
<p>Guys: this is the single largest gift to Yale’s School of Mgt – not Yale College. Yale SOM isn’t that old of an institution either.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, this is only the largest donation to a single school. I’m sure much larger gifts have been given to the University.</p>
<p>^Yes, that would make sense given the leaders and entrepreneurs that Yale has produced.</p>
<p>^lmao EXACTLY what i was thinking…</p>
<p>esp coming from the school of management</p>
<p>Yale SOM is a latecomer relative to HBS, Wharton, etc. It was founded under a different philosophy and started in 1976 with a focus different than traditional BSchools. However, it still ranks well in some areas but not as uniformly high as some others.</p>
<p>“A portion of the gift will provide scholarship support for Chinese students in the International Relations Program at Yale’s new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs”</p>
<p>THAT’S ME!! COME ON YALE! You’ve got the money - let me in!</p>
<p>xiaoluliu: this is for the Graduate program at the School of Mgt, not for Yale College.</p>
<p>Anyway, it is good for the Chinese!</p>
