| Thomas C. Jones |
Thomas C. Jones (BBA ’68,MBA ’71), of Ann Arbor and Northport, Mich., says his experience as a Michigan undergraduate changed his life. With a gift of $10 million to the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, Jones will do the same for future Ross School students.
The gift establishes the Thomas C. Jones Center for BBA Education, which will offer opportunities for students to apply classroom theory to real business situations, incorporate liberal arts into the business curriculum, and develop leadership skills.
Jones, retired president of CIGNA Retirement & Investment Services, was the Ross School’s first executive-in-residence and director of its bachelor of business administration degree program in 2003-2004.
Previously Jones gave $1.5 million to the Ross School for the Jane M. and Chester R. Jones Undergraduate Scholarship in memory of his parents, and for the Dean’s Innovation Fund, which helps finance innovative faculty and student projects and programs.
