Successful Business Alumni Inducted into Gupta College Hall of Fame

Seven new alumni business leaders have been announced as inductees to the Hall of Fame at the University of Dallas – Satish and Yasmin Gupta College of Business.

The hall of fame, established just last year, was intended to celebrate successful business leaders who truly embody the spirit of Gupta College, honoring former Dallas Cowboys fullback Robert F. Newhouse Jr. as the first inductee. This year’s new members included Craig Farrill, Satish Gupta, Yasmin Gupta, Gordon “Don” Hutchins, Heather Kreager, Dick Long and Terry O’Halloran. The ceremony took place on January 14th in SB Hall, the new home of Gupta College.

The seven inductees come from a wide variety of industry and experience, though all are MBA recipients from Gupta College. Most notable among them may be business leaders Satish and Yasmin Gupta, for whom the school was recently renamed. Today, Satish Gupta, MBA ‘81, continues to serve Dallas through his partnerships with several charitable organizations, in addition to the founding of SB International Inc, a steel distribution company. Yasmin Gupta, MBA ‘82, now serves as SB International’s director and executive vice president.
