SUBJECT: Tuesday News Conference/College of Business Announcement
July 10, 2006
I have wonderful news to share with you. One of the largest financial contributions made to Rochester Institute of Technology will be unveiled during a news conference at 10:15 a.m. tomorrow on campus. You are all invited to attend.
At the news conference, I will formally announce details of a multi-million dollar gift benefiting the university¹s College of Business. It will be my pleasure to introduce the individual benefactor, who will be on hand for the event.
The announcement will take place in front of the College of Business (Building 12). Please join me for this joyous and historic occasion in the life of the university.

Kind of speaks for itself! I cant wait, I am delighted!! We deserve this – especially as a small college in a land of giants on campus and the monies will be put towards great use in terms of renovations and new buildings. We've plenty in mind, student and staff common rooms, state of the art equipment, the removal of all pieces of antiquated art (you know what I'm talking about if you've set foot in the building), new auditoriums, finished classrooms and better facilities all round.

That is truely a magnificent site Vic and one that brought tears to my eyes.
If it goes back up I will wear nothing but black all year round in protest.
I think the building will always be called Max Lowenthal.
The building was ‘always?’ the Max Lowenthal building but the college itself never had a name. The way it was explained to me is the building name is staying.
I am told the name of the building changes along with the name of the college – poor Max.
