Robert Wann is a UAlbany business major who learned philanthropy from his parents, Robert Sr. and Shirley. “They worked very had to get to where we are today. Along the way, they taught me to be fair and to help others.” Now Robert serves as vice president and treasurer of his family’s foundation which recently gave UAlbany a $42,000 gift to set up two scholarship endowments to support scholars majoring in finance/marketing and East Asian studies. The Wanns endowed the scholarship funds in those areas, says Robert, because of the professors and their programs. Through this gift Wann and his parents are “helping the University attract and keep dedicated students.”
