“My sister had a great experience at UB. I wanted to
make sure that students were able to benefit as she did.”
Jason Thaler describes his sister, Adriana, as very smart,
compassionate and full of life. Tragically, she died after
graduating magna cum laude in marketing from the School of
Management. To honor her, Jason and their mother, Nancy,
established a memorial award in Adriana’s name to benefit a
top senior marketing student each year. “My
sister’s memory is kept alive and UB students are able to
benefit from the award.”
