The Tuck School recently announced a $1-million gift from UBS. In concert, the admissions office at the school will be named the UBS MBA Admissions Suite. This funding follows UBS' recent career development success at Tuck, which placed them at the top of the financial services firms recruiting at the school. The gift is one of the largest corporate donations to Tuck's capital campaign.

"The generosity of UBS has been outstanding," says Tuck Dean Paul Danos. "We are excited about our growing partnership with this corporation."

Danos refers to the current gift, but also to previous funding received from UBS to assist with Tuck's Diversity Conference, the Finance Club, various student case study competitions, and orientation activities.

John P. Costas, Chairman and CEO of UBS, a 1981 Tuck alumnus and member of Tuck's board of overseers, said, "We are pleased to support the Tuck School. UBS' contribution signifies that Tuck is an important partner in the firm's commitment to attracting top-tier MBA talent."

UBS is a leading financial firm, combining financial strength with a reputation for innovation and a global culture that embraces change. It is one of the world's largest wealth managers, a premier investment banking and securities firm, and one of the largest global asset managers. In Switzerland, UBS is a market leader in retail and commercial banking. Headquartered in Zurich and Basel, UBS employs around 67,000 people, and has operations in over 50 countries and in all major financial centers.

Since its founding in 1900, the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth has been at the forefront of business education. Tuck's focus on its sole degree—the MBA (also offered as a joint and dual degree with other professional schools)—and small class size ensure unparalleled access to a renowned faculty and to educational resources. The school's extensive executive education program provides customized training to business leaders in all sectors. Tuck alumni are strikingly loyal: in 2004, almost 65 percent of alumni contributed to Tuck, more than double the rate of most peer schools.
