As buds begin to bloom, the air is filled with promise and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>When I think about the progress our great University is making, I feel that we are only just at the beginning. The \u2018spring\u2019 of our time. This progress is only possible because of you.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last several months, we\u2019ve read and heard wonderful reports about the incredible impact created through our recent $1.3 billion campaign. Philanthropy is at its best when we all combine our ideals, our wishes for a better world, and work together as a unified force.<\/p>\n<p>While our collective philanthropy reflects the true meaning of Meliora, I would like to take a moment to also pay tribute to the thousands of others who found additional ways to make an extraordinary difference over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that during<em> The Meliora Challenge<\/em>, more than 7,300 volunteers stepped forward to help the University and its Medical Center? That\u2019s enough to fill Fauver Stadium, and then some. We have volunteers from almost every state and more than 30 countries nationwide helping us meet our mission.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers\u00a0organize hundreds of events, serve on committees, and are vital leaders. They meet with prospective students, counsel young alumni on careers, post about Rochester on social media, deliver meals to the homebound, or rock newborns in the NICU so that our youngest friends can feel the healing power of the human touch as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, the healing power comes right back to us through volunteering and through giving.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the entire University of Rochester community and the George Eastman Circle, thank you for your continued involvement\u2014however you choose to share it\u2014and your support.<\/p>\n<p>Meliora,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/moser_sig-1.gif\" alt=\"moser_sig\" width=\"137\" height=\"36\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nathan Moser \u201975<br \/>\nLife Trustee<br \/>\nNational Chair, George Eastman Circle<\/p>\n<p>[vc_separator type=&#8217;normal&#8217; position=&#8217;center&#8217; color=&#8217;#065143&#8242; thickness=&#8221; up=&#8217;20&#8217; down=&#8217;20&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h5 id=\"vip\" class=\"article_subhead\"><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"article_subhead\">Making Foresight 20\/20<\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_31062\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31062\" class=\"wp-image-31062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/giving\/gec\/newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gitnerrosales-700x525.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-31062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gerald Gitner \u02bc68S (MBA) and Jorge Rosales &#8217;17<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf only I knew then what I know now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Words Simon Business School is keeping out of the minds and mouths of its graduates with the Simon Mentor Program.<\/p>\n<p>The mentor program, offered through the school\u2019s Advancement Office and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simon.rochester.edu\/cmc\/career-management-center\/index.aspx\">Career Management Center<\/a>, gives first-year MBA students the opportunity to regularly consult with their \u201cfuture selves.\u201d Mentors are University alumni and friends who have or had careers that students aspire to build for themselves. With the advancement office, the center creates mentor-mentee pairs based on criteria such as location, experience, and professional industry preference. When it came to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1CEFi7BW7nw\">Jorge Rosales<\/a>, a 2017 MBA candidate whose sights are set on becoming a CEO, there was a clear match available for mentorship: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democratandchronicle.com\/story\/news\/local\/columnists\/andreatta\/2015\/05\/06\/andreatta-gerald-gitner-university-rochester-degree\/26950527\/\">Gerald Gitner \u02bc68S (MBA)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gitner is a retired giant of the airline industry whose credits include CEO of Trans World Airlines, vice chairman and CFO of Pan American Airways, and co-founder and president of People Express Airlines, among other senior-level positions. Now, he\u2019s putting that experience to work again as one of the Simon School\u2019s 60 mentors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always done what I can to help capable people, and this keeps me in touch with the younger generation,\u201d Gitner says.<\/p>\n<p>Simon mentors possess considerable professional wisdom, but they also have a wealth of academic and life experience. So, a conversation between a mentor and mentee could be about a job search, a class choice, or in the case of Gitner and Rosales, the U.S. corporate world. From 2008 to 2015, Rosales was working in Latin America, primarily for Citi, where he held positions as deputy manager and resident vice president for investments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore my internship, I had never worked in the American corporate setting,\u201d says Rosales, who was a summer associate at UBS Investment Bank from June to August in 2016. \u201cGerry was really helpful in that aspect\u2014what the culture is like, how to navigate office politics, and what I can do to make my skills and value more noticeable to managing directors and senior executives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being helpful is Gitner\u2019s sole objective as a mentor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am a completely neutral sounding board,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m here to provide a different point of view, share my experiences, and help students get on or stay on the right track. Making myself available is part of giving back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Volunteering is not the only way Gitner supports his alma mater. In 2015, he and his wife, Deanne, established the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simon.rochester.edu\/faculty-and-research\/faculty-teaching-awards\/the-gitner-prize\/index.aspx\">Gerald and Deanne Gitner Prize for Teaching Excellence<\/a> at the Simon Business School. They are also members of the <strong>George Eastman Circle<\/strong>, the University\u2019s leadership annual giving society. Mentoring gives him the chance to provide what he never had.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really would have liked to have had me around,\u201d Gitner says. \u201cSometimes you just need someone to talk to, and that can be difficult, especially when you get into a position of high responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or when you\u2019re starting a new job.<\/p>\n<p>After Rosales graduates on June 4, he will head to California to begin consulting work with Simon-Kucher &amp; Partners. Those plans, he mentions, are one of the things he means to discuss with Gitner in their next conversation.<\/p>\n<p>After that? That\u2019s up to Rosales. But student or alumnus, East Coast or West Coast, Gitner has made it clear he will always be a phone call away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Jorge is out in the business world,\u201d he poses, \u201cand were to call me a year from now and say, \u2018Gerry, I have this situation at work. Would you spend five minutes with me?\u2019 Of course I would.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Give your time, knowledge, and experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They can all be invaluable gifts to a student.
