CWRU's Weatherhead School of Management has received a $2.5 million
gift from Iris S. and Bert L. Wolstein of Cleveland. Bert Wolstein,
founder of Developers Diversified and of the Heritage Development
Company, is a nationally renowned leader in the development industry.
"The generosity of the Wolstein family will help us move toward
achieving the goals of our five-year strategic plan," said Mohsen
Anvari, dean of the Weatherhead School. "I am grateful to Bert
and Iris Wolstein for this extraordinary gift."
The Wolstein family has designated $1 million of their gift for
the renovation of Sycamore Hall, which is adjacent to the George
S. Dively Building and home to the Weatherhead School's undergraduate
programs. The facility will be renamed Iris S. and Bert L. Wolstein
Hall. The remaining $1.5 million will be used to establish the
Iris S. Wolstein Professorship in Management Design.
James W. Wagner, CWRU's interim president, praised the Wolsteins
for their support of the University and the Weatherhead School.
"Bert and Iris Wolstein are generous benefactors, not just of
Case Western Reserve University, but of many nonprofit organizations
in Cleveland, northeast Ohio and the nation," Wagner said. "Their
gift to the Weatherhead School is an enormous honor and provides
us with a great opportunity to add another distinguished educator
to our outstanding Weatherhead faculty through the Iris Wolstein
Chair in Management Design."
