$30 million gift given to University of Rochester
ROCHESTER — An investment banker is giving $30 million to the University of Rochester, the largest single donation in the school’s 158-year history.
Edmund Hajim, 72, a 1958 chemical engineering graduate, said Friday his gift will go to the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Hajim has been an investment banker since the 1960s and served on his alma mater’s board of trustees for 20 years, becoming its chairman in May.
The private school’s previous biggest gifts were $26 million from Charles Hutchison in 1976, two separate donations of $17 million from Kodak founder George Eastman and $14 million from businessman Thomas Golisano in 2002.
