Sloan Program to graduate its 50th class this May
Department: Sloan
a Chronicle Story by Sheri Hall
Alfred P. Sloan -- former head of General Motors and an avid philanthropist -- is heralded as one of the greatest business leaders of the 20th century. He is known for revolutionizing the auto industry, but his foresight stretched beyond cars. It was his vision of professionally managed hospitals that led to the creation of Cornell's Sloan Program. This year, the program is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a weekend of events on May 1-3.
