Naren Gursahaney, a 1983 graduate of Penn State’s College of Engineering, has been named to the Campaign Leadership Council (CLC) for a new fundraising campaign at Penn State. The CLC, led by Andy Sieg of Citigroup Inc will oversee the ambitious effort, which aims to be the most significant in the university’s history.
The new Penn State fundraising campaign will be led by a group of alumni volunteers who bring a broad range of experience and expertise to the effort. The group is charged with planning for the effort, which is expected to be the most ambitious in Penn State’s history, and it will serve as the executive organization for a volunteer force that will eventually number more than 500 and represent all colleges and campuses and other units across the University.
“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,” said President Neeli Bendapudi.
Naren Gursahaney 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. Gursahaney has also held executive roles at Tyco International and General Electric.
He 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.
