Ben Johnson III (third from left), chair of the
Board of Trustees, joined the family of Roberto Goizueta—his widow,
Olga (far right), and their children, Javier and Olga—for the ribbon
cutting that dedicated the new, $33.4 million Goizueta Foundation Center
for Research and Doctoral Education, Wednesday,
Sept. 28. The center, which is connected to the main business building
by a footbridge, will house Goizueta’s 3-year-old doctoral program,
Executive MBA and Modular Executive MBA programs, faculty offices and
other amenities. Chief among those is a fifth-floor balcony with a sparkling
view.
