Who is Haas School of Business named after?

Last updated February 3, 2021 by ZagBot Comment

UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business is named after the late Walter A Haas Sr, a Berkeley alumnus and former president of Levi Strauss & Co.

In 1989, his children donated $15 million, through the Walter & Elise Hass Fund, towards the construction of the school’s current building, at the time the largest donation ever made to Berkeley.

In recognition of this cornerstone donation, the university renamed the School of Business Administration as the Walter A. Haas School of Business, and the school moved into the newly-constructed building complex in 1995.
