I owe much to Professor Lerner. When I came to NU GSM, he was one of my first professors.

Gene Lerner was not dry or boring. He really connected with students. He was much more of a teacher than a researcher - rare for the Graduate School of Management.
He will always be remembered and memories treasured.

I owe a special debt of gratitude to Professor Lerner.
He was one of my first professors when I came to NU GSM....Kellogg came later. I never considered a career much less a major in finance. Too dry and boring.

Gene changed my life forever and I would not be doing what I do today without his amazing guidance and friendship. He was a great mentor and I, like so many, will miss him. May he rest in peace.

I have such fond memories of my grandmother, Phyllis, and her beloved friend, Gene. I cherish the one memory when he came to our house in New Jersey to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot. His stories and laughter had such an impact on me and my sisters. We will forever hold him in high esteem and close to our hearts.
