Investing in Stern Home

An exceptionally influential and beloved teacher and scholar, Professor Robert Kavesh exemplifies the best qualities of a Stern professor. Not only has he inspired countless business students through his dynamic teaching, but he also has helped propel Stern's economics department into a position of national prominence.

During a discussion of his next steps here at Stern, Bob and I arrived at the idea of establishing the Robert Kavesh Professorship in Economics. As fellow economists, we agreed that this professorship would be the most meaningful way to continue his legacy by supporting the next generation of leadership in the department.

A gift toward the establishment of the Robert Kavesh Professorship is a tribute to Bob's legendary tenure as a teacher and scholar-it is also an investment in the future of the Stern School. As an economist and Bob's colleague and friend, I urge you to consider supporting the Robert Kavesh Professorship in Economics.
