LBH Alumni Board chair Anna McCuiston, Bus ’06, outlined the avenues available for alumni to engage with students prior to introducing Cory Sims, Bus ’11, the recipient of the 2024 Norman R. Baker Outstanding Alumni Award. Sims, managing member, investment adviser representative, at Sims Investment Management, counts past president of the Lindner Alumni Council among his many Lindner and UC involvements.
Sims started the Sims Family Scholarship Fund in 2017 to support LBH students. As a unique and generous way of celebrating special occasions, Sims asks friends and family to donate to the Sims Family Scholarship Fund in lieu of buying him birthday and Christmas gifts. This gesture ensures that Sims will support future business problem solvers for years to come.
“There’s a lot of talk about why college is even necessary these days. But what you can’t get through technology or AI is human connection. The friendships and bonds. The relationships with your professors. These are the things that we have to continue to pour into this institution,” said Sims. “I also firmly believe in what Mr. Lindner said about this city going as far as this university goes because we need high-quality talent for our employers to hire. That’s why the work we do at UC and the Lindner College of Business is so important.”
