Lawrence Tech Creates
Honor For Big Donors
Southfield-based Lawrence
Technological University has
created the A. Alfred Taubman
Society to recognize the highest
level of philanthropy to the uni-
versity.
The new philanthropic des-
ignation honors donors who
have given outright gifts of cash,
securities, real property and
gifts-in-kind with a cumulative
value of more than $5 million.
Recognition is also given to
donors who have a $10 million
bequest or planned gift in their
estate plan.
Taubman and his family pro-
vided the $4 million lead gift
for the student services center
named in his honor in 2006.
Other gifts have put the cumula-
tive giving of the Taubman family
above $5 million.
In 2011, the family contrib-
uted $1 million and offered a
$10 million challenge grant
for the construction of the A.
Alfred Taubman Engineering,
Architecture and Life Sciences
Complex. Construction is expect-
ed to start in 2014.
"The University's relationship
with Mr. Taubman has been a
long, strong and supportive one,
and it gives us great pleasure to
name the highest of our giving
societies for this remarkable for-
mer student, business leader and
longtime friend:' said Lawrence
Tech President Lewis Walker.
