HONOLULU (HI Now) - This year holds special significance as the Shidler College of Business (Shidler College) at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa celebrates its 75th diamond anniversary. Over the decades, and under the current leadership of Dean Vance Roley, the college has become a symbol of innovation, international excellence and a leader in business education. It has transformed lives, driven economic growth and nurtured business and community leaders who have made significant contributions across the globe.
The college was named in 2006 after alumnus Jay H. Shidler, founder and managing partner of The Shidler Group. Since his initial gift of $25 million in 2006, Shidler has given approximately $238 million to the college in cash, land leases and in-kind donations. His contributions represent both the largest individual donation in the university’s 110-year history and the second-largest known gift to any U.S. business school at a public university.
