, a school focused on educating what it describes as “new generations of wise leaders and purpose-driven entrepreneurs” from dozens of countries.
The San Francisco-based school was established in 2012 with $25 million in funding from Benchmark Capital. It has “accomplished so much in a short time: from innovative concept, to small pilot, to U.S. accreditation with over 600 students and nearly 600 alumni,” Hastings said. “This gift is intended to set Minerva on a trajectory towards educating many more thousands of students from around the world and dramatically increasing its positive impact.
“I am honored that Reed Hastings recognizes the uniqueness of our approach at Minerva University and how we educate students to have a profoundly positive impact on the world,” said Mike Magee, President of Minerva University. “Reed deeply supports access to quality education for all students, and this incredibly generous gift validates our efforts to provide global higher education for a better world.
