Penn State University has named Naren Gursahaney, a distinguished alumnus, to its newly formed Campaign Leadership Council (CLC), that will be tasked with organizing the university's most ambitious fundraising campaign.
Announced by university president Neeli Bendapudi, the council, comprised of the university’s top alumni, will be steered by Andy Sieg, a 1989 graduate of the Smeal College of Business and head of wealth at Citigroup Inc.
According to the university, the alumni volunteers will be instrumental in philanthropy, research, outreach, and economic development, all of which will enhance the university's influence on families, patients, and communities in the commonwealth and beyond.
Gursahaney, who received a bachelor's degree from the College of Engineering in 1983, currently serves as a director for NextEra Energy and Stericycle, an adviser for Berwind Corporation, and a trustee for Penn State. He previously served as the president, the chief executive officer and a director of the ADT Corporation.
His extensive career includes roles as president and CEO of ADT Corporation, as well as executive positions at Tyco International and General Electric. The Indian American executive is a recipient of the Outstanding Engineering Alumni, Alumni Fellow and Distinguished Alumni Awards. Along with his wife, Judy Gursahaney, he is a member of the Laurel Circle.
President Bendapudi praised the CLC members for their dedication. "The members of our Campaign Leadership Council embody excellence in their professional achievements, in their depth of generosity and volunteer spirit, and in their passion for giving back to our university through philanthropy and service," she said.
The council chair Sieg noted that, “No one is more deeply invested in the university’s future than those of us who feel grateful for the success that our Penn State education and experience made possible." He stated that CLC will work hard to inform volunteers, alumni, and friends of the university that their support will determine the success of new Penn State generations.
Penn State aims to unite more than 500 volunteers from various university sectors in the CLC, enhancing Penn State's mission in higher education, research, and public service.
