About the Investment Program
The School of Business Investment Program began in January 2013 as the result of a generous donation from College of Charleston 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 includes both public and private investment activity and provides a distinct opportunity for a select group of students to distinguish themselves academically, professionally and personally.
