Dee Family Endowment to enhance business faculty grants, curriculum development
It was 50 years ago that Raymond C. Dee’s father gave him the $10 application fee to apply to St. Bonaventure. Looking back over his successful career in the aluminum industry, the application fee was well worth his investment.
Today, the 1964 economics graduate and his wife, Maureen, of Naples, Fla., have made another investment in the University with the creation of The Dee Family Endowment for the School of Business.
The $450,000 endowment will benefit the University in perpetuity, providing funding to the School of Business faculty for curriculum development, research for new approaches and best practices, up-to-date technical equipment, and service learning programs.

Friday Forum
Date: Sept. 10
Time: 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
Speakers: Judge Lance Brennan and Sr. Patrolman Tim Peterson
Précis: Join Judge Lance Brennan and Sr. Patrolman Tim Peterson and find out what the “normal” weekend entails for a resident on the main streets of Allegany. We will go over some of the basic things seen daily, how our students throw away their education for a “good time” as well as fines that go along with many of the violations that occur in the village. Also tips to help you and your family stay fine free. It will be a fun, educational and sometimes scary talk. Bring your questions but not your tickets.
The Friday Forum is held in The University
Club and is generously subsidized by the President’s Office.
