St. Bonaventure University helps you establish the right foundation
 Eugene
McQuade, a 1971 St. Bonaventure University graduate, believes so
strongly in a Bonaventure business education that he and his wife,
Peggy, have committed $2 million to establish the McQuade Center for
Accounting Excellence at St. Bonaventure.
McQuade,
an accounting major as a student, said his St. Bonaventure education
set the foundation for his remarkable business career. The Citibank CEO
is a veteran banker who has held executive positions at Merrill Lynch,
Bank of America Corporation and FleetBoston.
"My
family and I are proud to partner with St. Bonaventure’s premier
business school,” said McQuade. “The high caliber of the curriculum,
the integration of service learning and the attention to ethical
decision making creates a dynamic business learning environment. The
quality instruction I received and the Franciscan values I
learned at the university have served me well, both personally and
professionally.”
His
family's gift, part of a $15 million campaign to build and support a
new School of Business building on campus, will provide scholarship aid
to promising incoming accounting majors; funding to recruit, retain and
support the work of highly qualified, dedicated faculty; and support for
student programming, advisement and professional development.
It
will help ensure that St. Bonaventure's School of Business retains its
status as one of the premier business schools in the world, one of only 5
percent of business schools worldwide accredited by the Association for
the Advancement of Collegiate Schools of Business.
