Tiffin University unveiled the Hertzer Department of Accounting and Finance on April 30 in front of the Hertzer Technology Center, located on Miami St., Tiffin.

Mr. William F. Hertzer and his late wife, Jean Grady Hertzer (TU Class of 1956) have given significant gifts to support Tiffin University. The most recent was a $1 million gift to name the Department of Accounting and Finance in his name. Mr. Hertzer is an alumnus, trustee, donor, and Tiffin, Ohio resident.

The William F. Hertzer Department of Accounting and Finance is now a memorial that will perpetuate the Hertzer name and signify a permanent commitment to quality higher education. It establishes the linkage of Mr. Hertzer with all aspects of the department’s operations, from every single student interaction to the broadest planning efforts.

Numerous possibilities exist at Tiffin University for donors interested in having their name associated with the institution and the financial requirements differ university-wide. The Vice President for Institutional Advancement Mitchell Blonde can assist with the thought process and a formal gift agreement. He can be reached at blondemp@tiffin.edu.
