The Stevens Doctoral Program's 100th Anniversary Celebration
Our 100th Anniversary Celebration was re-scheduled for Friday, May 12 and Saturday, May 13, 2023 in Chicago.
On May 12-13, we celebrated the Stevens Program's centennial milestone and reflected on the tremendous impact PhD faculty, students, and alumni have made on research and business education throughout the decades. In this spirit, we were excited to announce that notable entrepreneur and philanthropist, Ross Stevens, PhD ’96, made a gift of $100 million to our program. Stevens spoke with conference attendees in a conversation moderated by Dean Madhav Rajan during the celebration’s Gala Dinner. Please find the event details below.
