Trustees elect new chair and members, vote on
GSB facility
The University’s Board of Trustees acquired two new members
and a new chair at its June meeting. Edgar D. Jannotta, a trustee
since 1984, succeeds Howard G. Krane, JD’57, who has served
as chair since 1992. A member of the board’s executive committee
since 1996, Jannotta is also senior director of William Blair &
Company L.L.C. Jannotta has also served on the boards of the Chicago
Historical Society, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Chicago Community
Trust, and Rush–Presbyterian–St. Luke’s Medical Center.
Alumni Andrew Alper, AB’80, MBA’81, and Francis Yuen,
AB’75, joined the U of C’s board in June. The chief operating
officer of the investment-banking division of Goldman Sachs, Alper
belongs to the GSB Council and co-chairs the GSB campaign-planning
committee. A member of the Alumni Association Board of Governors,
he received a Young Alumni Service Citation in 1993.
Yuen, deputy chair of the Pacific Century Group Ltd. in Hong Kong,
belongs to the chair’s advisory council of the University’s
economics department. The former chief executive of the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange, he now serves as chair of the Hong Kong Centre for
Economic Research’s board of trustees and as a trustee of Fudan
University.
The trustees have also approved building a new Graduate School
of Business facility on the site where Woodward Court now stands.
The building would provide the GSB with twice as much campus space
as it now has, more group study rooms and classrooms, and at least
200 underground parking spaces. Construction will not begin until
after the two new undergraduate residence halls near Regenstein
open.
