Utah billionaire Jon M. Huntsman Sr. is pledging the largest donation in Utah State University history.
The exact amount has not been announced, but it will exceed the previous record of $15 million. The amount of the donation and what it will go toward will be announced on Dec. 3.
“We don’t want to steal the thunder from the event itself,” said Utah State spokesman John DeVilbiss.
In response to the gift, the university will rename its business college after Huntsman, who is the father of Utah’s governor.
Huntsman will announce the donation at a reception on Dec. 3.
“It’s a major, major event,” said Steve Eaton, director of communications at USU’s College of Business. “It’s a key moment in our history.”
