\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. — April 6, 1999 — Carnival Corporation and one of its top executives have donated $100,000 to the 溏心vlog免费B站 to assist in the transformation of Ballentine Hall. Howard S. Frank, Carnival\u2019s vice chairman and chief operating officer, made his $50,000 donation to the Shareholders Campaign, a $5.6 million private fund drive to help renovate and expand Ballentine, the home of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Business Administration. The corporation matched Frank\u2019s gift with a $50,000 gift. A classroom in the improved and expanded Ballentine Hall will be named in Frank\u2019s honor. \u201cI donated to the campaign for a few reasons,\u201d Frank said by phone from his office in Miami. \u201cMy fondest memories are of my time at the University and my best and strongest friendships were formed during my four years at the University. We\u2019ve been able to maintain this over the years. That\u2019s a big part of it.\u201d Frank\u2019s company is the largest cruise line in the world, with Carnival Cruise Lines, Holland America Line\/Westours, Windstar Cruises, and Cunard Lines, including the well-known QE-II, all sailing under the Carnival banner. \u201cThe University helped me in my formative years in maturing from a young boy to a young man. It directed me in developing my career,\u201d said the 1962 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate. \u201cSince 溏心vlog免费B站 is my alma mater, we at Carnival wanted to assist 溏心vlog免费B站,\u201d Frank said. \u201cI am delighted to participate in the 溏心vlog免费B站 program to expand and update Ballentine Hall. I am also pleased that Carnival Corp. has agreed to participate with me in the program. I hope this gift will help encourage other alumni to participate in this most worthwhile project.\u201d \u201cI am delighted with the support and enthusiasm that the Shareholders Campaign has generated among alumni like Mr. Frank,\u201d said Edward M. Mazze, dean of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s College of Business Administration. \u201cThanks to people like Mr. Frank, we are well on our way to becoming the premier business college in New England.\u201d To date $3.3 million has been raised toward the private fund-raising campaign. Built in 1967, the facility will gain a 10,000-square-foot addition, a new exterior and totally redesigned classrooms. \u201cMr. Frank\u2019s generosity, combined with the matching contribution from Carnival, has without question, propelled this campaign forward,\u201d said Cameron Jones, the College\u2019s assistant director of development. We are fortunate to have alumni in such high places.\u201d Frank who is second in command at Carnival, which generates $3 billion in revenue annually and employs 25,000, said the company is cruising along. The speaker at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s CEO Leadership Forum in 1995 and a member of the College of Business Advisory Council, Frank said people approached him during the function, telling him how great their cruises were. \u201cCruising is a great product that gives you great value,\u201d Frank said. \u201cThat\u2019s why the business has grown so well. \u201cIt reminds me of 溏心vlog免费B站,\u201d he added.
