In 2007 Mr. Denning committed $5 million over 5 years to
Georgia Tech’s Technology and Management Program, which enrolls a highly
selective group of undergraduate majors from the Colleges of Engineering and
Management. In 2010 Mr. Denning made a commitment to provide the College of
Management with a second $5 million gift that was matched from a $20 million challenge
fund provided by an anonymous donor; this elevated total funding of the Program
to $15 million. This additional funding of the program, now called the Steven
A. Denning Technology & Management Program, provided the necessary
resources to create an academic environment that sets a global standard in
interdisciplinary education for future leaders in an increasingly innovative
world. This remarkable funding will ensure the Program's continued
excellence, and will enable both its enrichment and its expansion.
