The Stephen M. Ross School of Business Class Gift program began in 1980 and provides outgoing class members with an opportunity to show their support of the school and pledge needed resources.

The Class of 2006 BBA and MBA class gifts will be used to equip exercise classrooms in the state-of-the-art fitness center planned for the new Ross School building. Construction of the new facility is expected to be complete in 2008. Students also had an opportunity to support the Dean’s Annual Fund. The Annual Fund provides the dean with unrestricted resources to assist with student and faculty research, student scholarship support, and other strategic initiatives.

The 2006 class gifts from Stephen M. Ross School of Business students were presented to Dean Robert Dolan in the Executive Residence during a dean's reception for graduates and their guests as part of commencement day celebrations; BBA, MBA, Evening MBA and Master of Accounting (MAcc) students presented a check in the amount of $264,111 to Dean Dolan and the Executive MBA students pledged $303,916.
