Madden School of Business at Le Moyne Names Hetterich Center for Global Engagement and Impact
Thanks to the incredible generosity of F. Paul Hetterich, ‘84, the Madden School of Business at Le Moyne will name its third and final center of excellence the Hetterich Center for Global Engagement and Impact. The formal dedication and ribbon cutting for the Center will take place at an event set for Thursday, Nov. 10; immediately following the ceremony, Paul will give the fall 2016 Madden Lecture.
“I’m grateful to be able to give back to my alma mater and to help support the great things going on at Madden School of Business,” said Hetterich, president of the Beer Division at Constellation Brands in Victor, N.Y. and a member of the Madden School Board of Advisors. “The outstanding education I received and experiences I had while at Le Moyne created a foundation that has helped me throughout my career on both a professional and personal level. I am confident that the centers of excellence will help current and future students across all curricula develop into reflective, effective and innovative leaders.”
“The Hetterich Center will be run similarly to an international foundation and contain initiatives and activities that are regional, national and international in scope,” said Madden School Dean Jim Joseph ‘83. “The Center will play a key role in supporting our efforts as we seek to create 21st century world-ready leaders through a wide variety of experiences, most notably our innovative Formation Abroad program. We are profoundly thankful for Paul’s support and engagement.”
The Center will leverage connections around the world through the global Jesuit network of 188 institutions. Through its activities, initiatives and resources, all Madden School students will have the opportunity to participate in a formation abroad experience where they will work, volunteer, study and become immersed in a culture of their choosing. This will augment current student involvement with formation efforts through Loyola Chennai in India, Iberoamericana in Mexico and Assumption University in Thailand.
The Center will also be involved in numerous initiatives regionally and nationally, examples of which include: providing consulting services to businesses and non-profit organizations whereby students will have the opportunity to apply their academic learning under the tutelage of skilled professors and participate in research projects.
The Hetterich Center is the third named center within the Madden School; the other two are:
The Donald J. Savage ’51 & Family Center for Reflective Leadership, which houses the Global Jesuit Case Series, the Arrupe Program in Social Ethics for Business, and the Madden Lecture Series.
The Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, which houses the Family Business Center, StartFast, and the Famous Entrepreneur Series and seeks to advance the Central New York economy by utilizing personal enterprise to promote economic development and combat poverty.
