The "M" drive is accessible both on- and off-campus for you to save your work. All files saved on this drive are backed up regularly. View instructions for mapping the "M" Drive and accessing it remotely.

Namesake

Miles and Eleanor McKay

In 1979, Miles E. and Eleanor McKay donated the first computers to the Lundquist College of Business, anticipating how technology would transform the business world and ensuring that our students would be ahead of the curve. In 2008, their son J. Douglas McKay established a $1 million endowment to honor his parents and provide for continual upgrades to the college’s computer labs as technology advances.

Miles was a graduate of Eugene High School and the University of Oregon, eventually founding McKay’s Market in 1939 and growing the grocery chain to sixteen stores before he sold them in 1959. McKay then devoted his energies to McKay Investment Company, a partnership consisting of Miles, Eleanor, and their children Linda and Doug. McKay Investments became a successful developer of commercial property, partnering to build and lease stores to Bi-Mart Corporation and owning and evolving Oakway Mall on the former family farm site where Miles’s father lived.
