[BusinessGrad] Message from the Dean

[Cartledge, Barbara]

Dear Brock School of Business Students,

I hope you enjoyed the Labor Day weekend, and are ready to get back to work. I wish to share with you the outstanding events associated with our new building grand opening which took place on Friday.

Samford's board of trustees  approved  the naming of the building for Samford alumnus and Birmingham business executive Gary Cooney. Cooney, vice chairman of McGriff, Seibels and Williams, Inc., a member of Samford Board of Overseers and a 1974 Samford graduate, pledged $12.5 million as the lead gift for the building.

As of today, your Brock School of Business has a new home - Cooney Hall!  We are indeed fortunate to have such loyal and faithful alumni and friends.  The vision and support of the Brock School of Business shared by Harry Brock, Jr. and Gary Cooney has been realized.

We are all the beneficiaries of their generosity.

Best wishes for success this fall,
Dean Finch
