The Hauck Family

The Hauck Sales Performance Lab was made possible by the generous support of Frank ’81 and Marion (Sheahan) Hauck ’81, P’08. Mr. Hauck was elected to the Bryant Board of Trustees in 2023, and both he and Marion are members of the Bryant Leadership Council of Donors and funded the Frank ’81 and Marion Hauck ’81, P’08 ice rink in 2021, which was a wonderful addition to the campus as it emerged from the pandemic. In 2022, Mr. Hauck received the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
