SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Madden School of Business at Le Moyne College will name its third and final “center of excellence” the Hetterich Center for Global Engagement and Impact.
Le Moyne graduate F. Paul Hetterich, president of the beer division at Constellation Brands in Victor, near Rochester, provided the donation to have his name on the center.
Le Moyne didn’t disclose the amount of Hetterich’s donation, but the school called it “incredible generosity” in a recent news release.

Hetterich is a member of the Madden School’s board of advisors.
The formal dedication and ribbon cutting for the center is scheduled for Nov. 10. Hetterich will give the fall 2016 Madden Lecture immediately following the ceremony, the school said.
“The outstanding education I received and experiences I had while at Le Moyne created a foundation that has helped me throughout my career on both a professional and personal level. I am confident that the centers of excellence will help current and future students across all curricula develop into reflective, effective and innovative leaders,” Hetterich said in the release.
About the center
The Hetterich Center will “leverage connections” around the world through the global Jesuit network of 188 institutions, Le Moyne said.
Through its activities, initiatives, and resources, all Madden School students will have the opportunity to participate in a “formation abroad experience” where they will work, volunteer, study and “become immersed in a culture of their choosing,” the school said. Le Moyne wants it to “augment” current student involvement with formation efforts through Loyola College in Chennai, India; Iberoamericana, a school in Mexico City, Mexico; and Assumption University in Thailand.
The Hetterich Center will also be involved in initiatives regionally and nationally, which include providing consulting services to businesses and nonprofit organizations.
In those efforts, students will have the opportunity to apply their academic learning under professor supervision and participate in research projects, Le Moyne said.
“The Hetterich Center will be run similarly to an international foundation and contain initiatives and activities that are regional, national and international in scope,” James Joseph, dean of the Madden School of Business, said in the release. “The Center will play a key role in supporting our efforts as we seek to create 21st century world-ready leaders through a wide variety of experiences, most notably our innovative formation-abroad program. We are profoundly thankful for Paul’s support and engagement.”
Besides the Hetterich Center, the Madden School is also home to two additional centers of excellence.
They include the Donald J. Savage ‘51 & Family Center for Reflective Leadership, which houses the Global Jesuit Case Series, the Arrupe Program in Social Ethics for Business, and the Madden Lecture Series.
In addition, the Madden School includes the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship, which houses the Family Business Center, StartFast, and the Famous Entrepreneur Series, the school said.
