A Richmond, Va., businessman is donating $3 million over three years to endow a faculty chair in the finance department of the West Virginia University College of Business and Economics.
The gift from Fred T. Tattersall, chairman of 1607 Capital Partners in Richmond and a 1970 WVU alumnus, is the largest single donation for a distinguished endowed faculty chair in the university's history and the largest single donation to its College of Business and Economics. The gift was announced Friday.
"I wanted to honor WVU, which gave me a business foundation from which I was able to build a successful investment career," said Mr. Tattersall in a prepared statement. "By funding a distinguished endowed chair, WVU will be able to attract and retain a well-regarded professor in the business finance field."
