Brennan and representative of the Brennan estate; Dr. Ann McPherren, Department of Business chair at Huntington University, and Jim O’Donnell, emeriti professor of business at Huntington University.
Business students at Huntington University will benefit from a gift from the estate of longtime Huntington businessman J.T. Brennan.
Brennan, known for his interest in the stock market, designated funds to support the Department of Business at HU. The funds are being used to establish the Forester Acorn Fund.
“We are thankful for J.T. Brennan remembering the HU Department of Business in his estate,” said Dr. Ann McPherren, Department of Business chair. “The Forester Acorn Fund will provide business students with the real-world opportunity to actively invest and manage funds in the market.”
“I am excited about the experiential learning opportunity this fund will provide for our students,” said Dr. Brock Zehr, associate professor of business, who teaches courses in investing and personal finance. “They will gain experience in investment research, portfolio management and investment decision-making. I am hopeful it will further career exploration in the financial services industry.”
