About the Center
The Allan Center for Career and Professional Development was made possible by alumnus and current chair of the Board of Regents, Donald Allan Jr. ’86, and his wife, Marilyn. In addition to his role as president and CEO of Stanley Black & Decker, Don has remained connected to his alma mater as a passionate advocate for career readiness and professional development.
In 2024, the Allans longstanding partnership and leadership support was recognized with the new Center, which now bears their name.
