In 2010, Lonnie Poole, founder of Raleigh-based Waste Industries, and his wife Carol Johnson Poole, announced a generous gift to North Carolina State University. The gift included an endowment to support NC State's College of Management, now named the Lonnie C. Poole Jr. College of Management. [4]

Steve and Judy Zelnak made a $4 million donation to the College in 2014. Part of that donation was the endowment of the dean's chair. Dean Ira Weiss, the college’s dean since 2004, was the first recipient of the endowed Chair. [8]

In 2016, Ira Weiss announced she would step down as dean and planned to join the college's faculty. [6]
