YOUR IMPACT

AMY HAGEDORN, CLASS OF 1958
"Idirected the grant to the School of Public Affairs because of the diversity of the students at Baruch and wanting to provide for them, a kind of encouragement to enter into community life. My impetus was to give scholarships to get kids involved in community life."

Baruch alumna Amy Hagedorn ('58) has provided an extraordinarily generous gift of $1 million to support scholarships and paid internships for undergraduate students in the School of Public Affairs (SPA), as well as support for faculty and general support for the College. This is a remarkable gift for SPA, and their largest in its 15-year history. Amy reconnected with the College after 50 years on the anniversary of her 50th reunion.

ALLEN G. AARONSON, CLASS OF 1948

"Baruch was the cornerstone of my education."

Allen G. Aaronson majored in management as an undergraduate at Baruch, then went on to earn a master's degree from Columbia University and build a highly successful business career. He is currently CEO and president of AVRS, Inc., a management company. In 2008 Mr. Aaronson returned to Baruch to celebrate his 60th reunion, which led him to make a very generous gift to the College in support the department of Marketing which is now aptly entitled, The Allen G. Aaronson Department of Marketing and International Business.
