Meet Monte and Usha Ahuja: CSU and Community Philanthropists

Monte Ahuja is often described as "self-made," "hard-working" and "entrepreneur." But perhaps "giver" is the most accurate term for this captain of industry.

Mr. Ahuja gives generously of his wealth but he also gives of his time and talent to organizations throughout Northeast Ohio. In doing so, he has significantly impacted the business, educational and medical communities, thereby improving the quality of life and providing opportunity for others. Partnering with him for all these endeavors is his wife of 40 years, Usha Ahuja, a mathematician and educator.

The Ahujas donated $10 million to Cleveland State University, marking the largest gift in the University's 47-year history. In appreciation, the University's Board of Trustees unanimously voted to name the College of Business the Monte Ahuja College of Business. This generous gift funds scholarships in business and engineering, as well as an endowed professorship in business, the Monte Ahuja Endowed Chair of Global Business.
