Fred Ellsworth Medallion recipient, Bill Taylor

Throughout Bill’s 35-year career with Ernst & Young LLP, he earned a national reputation in the financial services industry, and he has shared his talent and experience to help strengthen the University as well as many other educational, civic and arts organizations. He helped guide the KU Memorial Unions Corporation Board as an alumni representative from 1986 to 1991, and he served on the Association’s national Board of Directors from 1993 to 1997. With his wife, Marilyn, Bill was a faithful volunteer and benefactor of the Rock Chalk Ball in Kansas City throughout the event’s long history. As a devoted School of Business graduate, he has remained involved in numerous ways—as a member of the Board of Advisors and the Accounting Advisory Council, and especially as a benefactor and longtime supporter and advocate to advance the innovative Multicultural Scholars Program, founded more than 30 years ago by Professor Renate Mai-Dalton. Bill has maintained close ties to the alumni who were Multicultural Scholars, and the business school’s support for students from underrepresented groups served as a model for programs across the University. The business school honored Bill as a Distinguished Alumnus in 2009. Bill’s ardent belief in the power of higher education led him to co-found Citizens for Higher Education, a network of business and civic leaders who urged Kansas policymakers and legislators to invest in the state’s public universities. For KU Endowment, Bill serves as a trustee and Governance Committee member. He and Marilyn are longtime members of the Chancellors Club, the Elizabeth Watkins Society and Jayhawk Faithful. Their robust record of philanthropy has benefited numerous areas across KU, including support for student scholarships and faculty development in the School of Business and other academic units, KU Study Abroad, Kansas Athletics and the Alumni Association.
