Over the last three years, the Helen Diller Center has become an essential part of campus life at GGU.
During our virtual center launch events back in March of 2021, we had the honor of hosting a discussion with the late Richard Rosenberg, Phyllis Cook, and David Fike to discuss the vision for the Diller Center at GGU.
The Helen Diller Center for Veterans of U.S. Military Service at Golden Gate University was launched in 2020 with a generous $2M grant from The Helen Diller Family Foundation. This pioneering initiative takes a comprehensive approach to supporting military-connected students by fostering academic, social, and career achievements for military veterans, active-duty service members and their families.
The center was established in honor of distinguished GGU alum, retired chairman and CEO of Bank of America, and former commander in the US Naval Reserve, Richard Rosenberg — MBA '63, JD '66, LLD '88. We take this opportunity to recognize and applaud his lifetime accomplishments and express deep gratitude for his invaluable support in furthering the mission of Golden Gate University
