Lindenwood Magazine - Spring 2022

3 SPRING 2022 EDITION THE LINDENWOOD Gregory Davis, MBA class of 1991 Gregory has many fond memories of Lindenwood University where he received his Master of Business Administration. He was a young father with two children living in St. Peters, Mo. with his wife Sally when he decided that an MBA would help him reach his career goals. Lindenwood’s flexible scheduling made it easy for him to attend classes during the week and on weekends, two factors that were crucial in determining where to pursue his MBA. At the time, Gregory was transitioning from the steel industry to pharmaceuticals. Pursuing his MBA at Lindenwood is a decision Gregory never regretted and knows helped further his career. “Lindenwood set me up for success,” Gregory shared. Graduation was an extra special event for him as it was shared with his wife and two young children. Gregory and his family now live in Lenexa, Kansas but recently made a visit to campus. He has included Lindenwood in his estate plan and encourages others to consider giving in this way as well. He believes Lindenwood enabled him to succeed in his career and that giving back is the right thing to do. Leave your legacy at Lindenwood like Gregory.
