Philanthropy

During For Ever Better: The Campaign for the University of Rochester, Eric T. Lincke ’54, ’57M (MD) has given $1.5 million to establish the John F. Randolph Professorship in Mathematics within the University’s School of Arts & Sciences.

Their gift will support visiting professors and scholars focused on Italian and Mediterranean cultures, languages, and literatures.

As part of For Ever Better: The Campaign for the University of Rochester, University Trustee Jay S. Benet ’76S (MBA) and Jeanne Benet have committed $1 million to establish an endowed scholarship at the Simon Business School.

Thanks to civic leader Abby Bennett and Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) and University of Rochester Trustee Doug Bennett ’06S (MBA), and the Sands Family Foundation, the University’s art museum is halfway to its goal of offering free admission to everyone who walks through its doors.
