As the gift-giving season approaches, consider making a donation in a friend, family member, or coworker's honor. The honoree will receive a letter informing them that a gift was made in their honor, but the amount will not be disclosed. 

Here are some possible gift ideas:

• Make an honorarium gift to the General Scholarship Fund, which is used to provide scholarship opportunities for business students. Any gift amount.
• Each department at the E. J. Ourso College has its own development funds that it relies on to support its faculty and instruction efforts. If you know of someone who is fond of their marketing degree for example, you could make a gift in their honor to the Department of Marketing.  Any gift amount.
• An honorarium gift can also be designated to the college’s area of greatest need. Any gift amount.
• Purchase an auditorium chair in the new Business Education Complex in honor of a family member or friend. Auditorium chairs can be named for $5,000.
