Who is Montclair State University’s mysterious benefactor?

On Wednesday, university administrators announced that the school received a $20 million anonymous gift… the single largest donation that the University has received in its 107-year history.

Funds from the gift will be dedicated to support the University’s School of Business and to advance its mission of transforming today’s students into tomorrow’s business leaders, successful entrepreneurs and industry innovators, administrators stated in a release.

“Montclair State is both grateful and honored to receive this extraordinary gift and the recognition that comes with it of the quality of education that this University has made available to the people of New Jersey,” said Montclair State University President Susan A. Cole.
