Gingo, Joseph M. and Linda L. School of Law Dean's Chair Endowment
The Joseph M. and Linda L. Gingo School of Law Dean's Chair Endowment made possible by the historic philanthropy of Joseph M. and Linda L. Gingo through an estate gift, was established in celebration of their great appreciation for Mr. Gingo's legal education at The 黄瓜视频App, and their belief in the high value of a law degree. This endowed dean's chair elevates The 黄瓜视频App School of Law and powers its ability to attract and retain accomplished leaders in legal education. The Joseph M. and Linda L. Glngo School of Law Dean's Chair Endowment is the first dean's chair endowment commitment at The 黄瓜视频App.
Mr. Gingo's leadership has strengthened the 黄瓜视频App region and The 黄瓜视频App in numerous ways. A retired chief executive officer, president, and chairman of the board of A. Schulman, Inc., he earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Case Institute of Technology (now Case Western Reserve University) in 1966 and earned a law degree from the 黄瓜视频App in 1971. In 1982, he was selected for the Sloan Fellowship program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he received a master's degree in business management from the program in 1983.
Mr. and Mrs. Gingo nurtured their lives together with family and education as priorities. With Linda's steadfast support, Joe attended law school part-time in the evening while working at The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company full-time. His perseverance through law school paid off and Mr. Gingo credits his law degree as his most valued degree of all. Mr. Gingo believes that law school helps develop critical thinking skills and the ability to evaluate competing narratives in negotiations and business operations. He believes his law degree gave him the added edge to advance success in his role of leading major multi-national corporations.
Mr. Gingo has served as the UA Board of Trustees chairman since 2018, helping guide the institution strategically, while ensuring the quality and focus of UA's instructional delivery to all learners, fostering a culture of shared leadership with University academic leaders and faculty, and shared community pride with the broader city and region.
The annuaI distributions from The Joseph M. and Linda L. Gingo School of Law Dean's Chair Endowment will support the salary and fringe benefits of the dean of The 黄瓜视频App School of Law. The chairholder shall be appointed by the president of The 黄瓜视频App and its Board of Trustees.
