University of Utah David Eccles School of Business The David Eccles School of Business has risen to the forefront of business excellence and each year e The same year that Utah was admitted as the 45th U.S.

state (1896), the University of Utah began formally educating students in the ways of business. Utah is the Beehive State after all, and Utahns are known being industrious and self-reliant. Originally, business students took classes through the University of Utah’s Economics & Sociology Department. But soon it became clear that the study of business deserved a school all its own. The School of Commerce & Finance was founded in 1917, and in that first year, 126 students enrolled. It’s no surprise that nearly one hundred years later, the number of enrolled students has increased more than 25-fold. Today the David Eccles School of Business has risen to the forefront of business excellence and each year educates nearly 4,500 graduate and undergraduate students in five departments.

Another sign of the Eccles School’s continued ascent.

The Cu***ng Foundation has committed $7.5 million to establish the Ian M. Cu***ng Endowed Deanship at the David Eccles School of Business.

This commitment also unlocks $2.5 million in matching funds from the Emma Eccles Jones Foundation to create a $10 million deanship package, among the largest in the country for a business school, and establishes the Emma Eccles Jones Presidential Endowed Chair.

The endowed deanship honors the legacy of Ian Cu***ng, a legendary Utah business leader, while providing flexible capital that will allow the Eccles School to invest in bold ideas, seize emerging opportunities, and move with speed.

We are grateful to David Cu***ng and the Cu***ng Foundation for this extraordinary investment in the future of the Eccles School.
