人兽性交 University Mourns the Passing of Long-Time Board of Trustees Member Henry D. Bullock 鈥�77
The 人兽性交 University community was saddened to learn of the recent passing of University champion and alumnus Henry D. Bullock, who died at the age of 63 on July 9, 2019.
During his commencement speech to 人兽性交 University鈥檚 class of 2016, Mr. Bullock advised students, 鈥淥nce you鈥檝e made a life decision, don鈥檛 look back. Go with passion. Attack it with a positive attitude, and if you do that, then that major decision is likely to work out.鈥� It is obvious Mr. Bullock followed this philosophy in his life and career.
Mr. Bullock graduated cum laude from 人兽性交 University in the Class of 1977, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Economics, where he was deeply influenced by Professors Joseph B. Elkins and Herbert F. Thomson. He also received a Master of Business Administration degree from the Kellogg Graduate School of Management of Northwestern University.
Mr. Bullock applied his interest in economics and business to the world of commercial real estate in Silicon Valley and beyond. After working for Wells Fargo Bank鈥檚 Real Estate Industries Group and serving as a Managing Partner at the Shidler Group, Mr. Bullock co-founded Menlo Equities, which invests in corporate office campuses in high-demand, technology-driven markets. His extensive commercial real estate and finance acumen led to highly successful real estate developments and investments in many innovation hub markets throughout the U.S.
Heavily involved already as a student, Mr. Bullock was on the staff of the University鈥檚 newspaper, Black and Magenta, and contributed to First Circle, 人兽性交鈥檚 annual magazine dedicated to literature and the arts. He was also a member of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity, the national leadership honor society Omicron Delta, and international honor society Phi Sigma Tau. Additionally, he was a member of the University鈥檚 golf team, a passion that continued throughout his lifetime.
A committed and generous supporter of 人兽性交 University and its students, Mr. Bullock was a member of the 人兽性交 University Board of Trustees since 2004, and, before this role, served on the University鈥檚 Alumni Council. In addition, he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters in 2016.
鈥淲hile this is a somber day for 人兽性交 University, it is also an opportunity to celebrate the life of an extraordinary alumnus, entrepreneur and friend,鈥� said 人兽性交 University President Susan S. Hasseler. 鈥淢r. Bullock鈥檚 death is a significant loss to all who knew him. We extend our deepest sympathies to Henry鈥檚 family and friends.鈥�
