There are many paths to success and many traits that a person needs to achieve their goals. But no one doubts that a good college education plays an important role in this complex, modern world. That has certainly been the case for Ira Riklis and his wife Diana. They both earned their graduate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. She attended the Graduate School of Education and (as should come as no surprise when talking about a very successful businessman) he graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Business.
Both are fully aware that they benefitted greatly from the generations of successful graduates who came before them and who made it a point to support their alma mater. In keeping with that long tradition, Ira Riklis and his family have been more than happy to give back to keep their schools strong and thriving into the future. They’ve been most focused on supporting the School of Education, which they perceive as having the greatest need.
