(AP) — A University of Nebraska-Lincoln graduate who donated $8 million to the university’s music school earlier this month has died.

UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said it’s unfortunate that Glenn Korff won’t be around to see the impact his gift will make.

Korff lived in Boulder, Colo., after retiring from Goldman Sachs. He graduated from UNL in 1965.

The university plans to rename the music school in Korff’s honor.

NU officials sent a 15-person marching band to Boulder on Aug. 22-23 to thank Korff for his gift. Friends say he was thrilled by the visit from the musicians.

Korff’s donation will be used to create an endowed fund to support academic programs, student scholarships and faculty projects.
