Alan M. and Sherry M. Leventhal have pledged $10 million to Boston University, a contribution intended to motivate substantial parallel gifts for student financial aid and professorships, announced BU President Robert A. Brown.
“Alan’s and Sherry’s very generous pledge will serve as a compelling stimulator for other individuals to contribute to the university, and reflects their unwavering support of the institution’s dual missions of education and research excellence,” said Brown, who in collaboration with the Leventhals will determine how the contributions will be allocated. “Their timely gift — at a critical phase in the university’s history — will bolster our promise to raise the necessary funds to ensure the access of qualified students to the university and to enhance our world-class faculty in all schools and colleges.”
