The Knauss School of Business - University of San Diego

Hello Toreros,

It is my honor to announce that Don Knauss, chair of USD’s Board of Trustees, and his wife, Ellie, have generously agreed to increase their philanthropic giving to the university to $50 million as their investment in educating ethical and compassionate business leaders. In honor of their remarkable gift, our business school will be known as The Knauss School of Business. The new building which will house the Knauss School of Business will be known as the Knauss Center for Business Education. We are incredibly blessed to have Don and Ellie as members of our university community. Through their vision and generosity, we will be able to truly transform business education.
