Business-minded engineer, passionate educator, mentor and colleague,
We are deeply saddened about the passing of Jerome “Jerry” Suran, a trailblazing leader at GE and cherished and longtime member of the UC Davis Graduate School of Management faculty and community. Read his obituary.
I chose UC Davis to continue both my athletic and academic career at a high level. The Master of Management program offers the perfect blend of real-world business preparation and leadership development, all within a supportive and collaborative environment. Being able to compete as a Division 1 athlete while earning a graduate degree made Davis the ideal place to grow on and off the field.
