About the Program
HISTORY
The School of Business Investment Program began in January 2013 as the result of a generous donation from CofC parents, Steve and Maureen Kerrigan. The Program, managed within the department of finance, is operationally funded through non-endowed accounts housed in the College of Charleston Foundation. The Program will include both public and private investment activity and will provide a distinct opportunity for a select group of students to distinguish themselves academically, professionally, and personally.
The first cohort of accepted students began managing the portfolio in Fall 2013, with the first trades being completed in October 2013.
