Congrats to the Fall 2022 Ted Bauer Undergraduate Business Scholars!

The final two Fridays in October found a number of exuberant Marilyn Davies College of Business undergrads gathered for lunch on the 11th floor of the One Main Building. These weren’t just any groups of students nor just any ordinary luncheons. The two groups were made up of the 72 recipients of the Ted Bauer Undergraduate Business Scholarship with a mix of Cohort Three (graduating May 2023) and Cohort Four (graduating May 2024); the guests at the luncheon included the trustees of the C.T. Bauer Foundation and Marilyn Davies herself.

The C. T. Bauer Foundation has now funded four cohorts of Ted Bauer Undergraduate Business Scholarships, totaling $2,000,000 and having an impact on more than 150 students since Fall 2019. This gift represents a depth and breadth of impact like no other scholarship program at UHD.

The foundation’s namesake, Ted Bauer, was known for investing in students’ success with the idea that “People Are the Product.” That philosophy is shared by UHD with the goal that once students enroll, they persist and graduate with the help and guidance of UHD faculty and staff. Certainly, the Ted Bauer Undergraduate Business Scholarship helps to do just that.
