David Calhoun, senior managing director for Blackstone and former CEO of Nielsen, has made the largest-ever gift to Virginia Tech’s Honors College.
Calhoun’s $20 million donation supports the beginning of a new collaborative learning program.
The emphasis of the Calhoun Honors Discovery Program will be equipping graduates with knowledge and skills to succeed in a complex and dynamic society.
Calhoun’s gift endows $15 million to help recruit and retain Discovery Program participants, which ultimately will benefit 200 Honors College students each year.
