History
The Monte Ahuja College of Business was first formed as the Nance College of Business, named for James J. Nance,[2] a Cleveland industrialist who served as the university's first chairman of the board of trustees. At the onset, it was an applied vocational school, and was housed in World War II-era Quonset huts, without any permanent building on campus.[2]
In 1970, the college was renamed to the James J. Nance College of Business Administration.[2] In 2011, it was again renamed, to the Monte Ahuja College of Business, after former CSU Board of Trustees Chair, Monte Ahuja.[3] Ahuja had donated $10 million to the school, the largest donation in the University’s 47-year history.[3]
