The two grants, totaling $75,000 from the Bank of America Foundation, will go toward the continued support of key programs and initiatives in the Charles F. Dolan School of Business, and for programming at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts.

The University was also named one of the top 50 private universities nationwide.

Fairfield University Charles F. Dolan School of Business accounting professor Joan Lee, CPA, PhD, will be honored with the 2019 American Accounting Association (AAA) Outstanding Accounting Educator Award. 

The grant will support the University’s Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Midwifery programs, provide tuition support for students, and help the Egan School develop curriculum in the area of telehealth, including the use of digital information and technologies to access healthcare services remotely.
