TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— A $3 million gift to The University of Alabama positions the Culverhouse College of Commerce to become the first business school in the nation to offer a value investing specialization at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Culverhouse alumnus C.T. Fitzpatrick and his wife, Kelley, donated $3 million to the College to create the Vulcan Value Partners Research Library and Trading Room that will offer students a curriculum that provides real-world experience with investing.

That’s great news. Roll Tide!

Teaching Bama students about value. How appropriate.

Kelley Fitzpatrick’s maiden name is “Manderson”. She is the daughter of Lewis Manderson, the namesake of the UA Graduate B-School.
