BUSINESS LEARNING COMMUNITY
The Terry College is honored to recognize the generosity of Terry alum Jason Brady (BBA ’93). In 2013, Jason generously supported the Building Terry Campaign, which raised private funding to build the Business Learning Community. In recognition of his generosity, the Terry College offered to name an MBA Interview Room in Mr. Brady’s honor. Instead of accepting the recognition, Jason used the opportunity to recognize his parents, Dr. Hal Brady III and Mrs. Myron Brady. Jason’s parents played an important role in encouraging Jason to attend the University of Georgia and pursue his education. The recognition is an especially fitting tribute for Mrs. Myron Brady, a lifelong educator, to be recognized within the birthplace of higher education in the state of Georgia.
Jason is an involved stakeholder in the Terry College with recognition as a member of the Terry College Pinnacle Society, the Shareholders Society as well as the Heritage Society. The Terry College is honored to have the Brady name recognized for generations to come within the halls of the Business Learning Community. Thank you for your contributions, Jason!
