Larry Pearlman, AM 1989, has worn almost every hat there is to wear at the School of Labor and Employment Relations - student, alumnus, board member, faculty member and donor. Pearlman, a partner with Oliver Wyman in Chicago, has been making LER a priority for nearly 30 years.

“Supporting the School just makes sense for me. I have built a career on this degree, I teach in the program, I have served on the Board and I received the Constituent Leadership Award from the Alumni Association. LER is a big part of my life and I am happy to be able to support the school.”

Pearlman was one of the first alumni to make a gift in support of the LER Classroom Addition, with a pledge of $25,000 to name an office space in the building. Although, we suspect he would be okay if his plaque was outside the restroom in the basement, a space he was pleased to know had seen a remodel in the summer of 2015.
