R'onald Cleve Funderburk II, the
son of the late Rev. Ronald Funderburk
and Jannie W. Funderburk, graduated
from Harvard Business School with a
Masters in Business Education on June
5.
Funderburk was highlighted in the
local newspaper in 2003 about his
ambition to attend Harvard because of
the school's mission to "educate lead
ers who make a difference in the
world." He credits God, his family, and
the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County
School system for providing him with a
solid foundation that helped him to
achieve both academic and personal
success.
Funderburk graduated from East
Forsyth High School in 1999, and
attended North Carolina State
University, where he earned both a
bachelor's and master's of science
degrees in computer engineering. In a
recent conversation, Ronald said,
"Attending Harvard Business School
was a very humbling experience that I
will remember and cherish forever.
Graduating from Harvard Business
School is not a celebration of me and
my accomplishments. It is the prayers
and sacrifices of family, friends, teach
ers, co-workers and anchors that
made this a positive experience."
