Why we give

Adam Ward, center, with Burnie Fischer and his wife.

Burnell and Barbara Fischer

The Fisher Fellowship

"The research that's done at [the O’Neill School] is important, but it's really the people who make the place thrive.  We're excited to be able to invest in young faculty, because we know the future of [the School] is in their hands."

Man stands near ramp

"People from [the O’Neill School] care passionately about things other than themselves and give to something bigger than themselves."

School renamed for distinguished alumnus Paul H. O’Neill

Headshot

My hope is that the school remains a place of excellence where future leaders can combine passion with action and develop the confidence they need to engage with society's greatest challenges and opportunities.

- Paul H. O’Neill
