Thirteen alumni and PwC colleagues have pledged $630,000 to name and equip the PwC LLP Business Seminar Center. The Center, which will be located on the first floor of the new School of Business building, will be the largest classroom in the new facility at 1,200 square feet and will accommodate 50 students in a lecture-style seating arrangement.

La Salle University has a longstanding partnership with PwC. There are 86 La Salle alumni currently employed with PwC, including 10 partners. In addition, 12 of PwC’s retired partners are La Salle alumni, and 16 members of the Class of 2015 have committed to join the firm this fall. The partnership continues to grow, as recruiting efforts are already under way for next year’s senior class.

During the summer of 2013, distinguished School of Business alumni at PwC, including Tom Leonard, ’70, Jeff Boyle, ’88, and AmyLynn Flood, ’95, came together to establish a project that would benefit the new School of Business and support enhanced educational opportunities for students, and particularly accounting majors, in the new building.

The names of each of the PwC employees who made commitments to this challenge will be displayed prominently outside the PwC LLP Business Seminar Center, which will feature the latest in learning technology. The Center will also be used for lectures, meetings, and a variety of learning opportunities.

PwC employees who would like to join their colleagues in this challenge, or anyone who wishes to make a gift in support of the new School of Business, should contact Felicia Gordon at 215.951.1880.
