On September 7, 2011, businessman, scholar, philanthropist and longtime Carnegie Mellon University trustee William S. Dietrich II announced a plan to provide a record-breaking gift of a $265 million fund to support CMU.
It is the largest gift in CMU's history and one of the 10 largest by an individual to a private higher education institution in the United States.
