An entrepreneur, philanthropist, and civic leader, Golisano graduated from Alfred State in 1962 with a degree in general business management. In 1971, he founded Paychex, a leading national provider of payroll, human resource, and benefit outsourcing solutions for more than a half-million small and medium-sized businesses.
In a new book released earlier this week, Alfred State alumnus and Paychex founder Tom Golisano details his path to success in the business world and the valuable lessons he learned along the way.
According to the Golisano Foundation, “Built, Not Born: A Self-Made Billionaire’s No-Nonsense Guide for Entrepreneurs,” provides “no-nonsense, often humorous advice on how to succeed in all phases of business ownership.” Golisano recently spoke about his new book on an episode of “Fox and Friends,” including recognition of his Alfred State degree.
