Fund Name


Named in honor of William E. Mayer,
distinguished alumnus and former dean of the Smith School.

Mr. Mayer initiated the creation in 1993 of what was then known as the "Terrapin Fund" by recommending a contribution of $250,000 from the College of Business and Management Foundation. Mr. Mayer also recently made a personal contribution of $250,000 to the Fund, and he continues to provide advice to the students who manage the Mayer Fund. The Smith School wishes to thank Mr. Mayer and all the other alumni who have contributed time, expertise, software and money to the Mayer Fund.
