CommerceUVA Fall 2007 (Investors' Report) - McIntire School of ...

Visionary, innovative, dynamic—these words
describe McIntire’s efforts to build and expand its
research and teaching centers. McIntire centers
are helping the School build intellectual capital,
create cutting-edge programs, and achieve global
preeminence.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Center for
Innovation in Professional Services
The PricewaterhouseCoopers Center for Innovation in
Professional Services aims to advance the collective
knowledge of professional services in three related
ways:
•
•
•
By sponsoring small, faculty-driven, student-
centric programs throughout the academic year
that are integrated into appropriate parts of the
McIntire curriculum, required for students, and
open to all University members
By actively engaging students, faculty, and
targeted professionals interested in sharing ideas
on best practices within professional services
through these student-centric programs
By creating a Web infrastructure that disseminates
program outcomes and other relevant content to a
broader, professional services audience
The Center was endowed by the
PricewaterhouseCoopers Foundation,
PricewaterhouseCoopers partners, and McIntire
alumni working for the firm.
Center for Growth Enterprises
The Center for Growth Enterprises serves to advance
the understanding of growth companies and
to create a world-class program focused on the
strategic, finance, and management issues associated
with growth enterprises and the factors that drive
wealth-creating organizations and economic
expansion. With The McIntire Center for Financial
Innovation, the Center for Growth Enterprises
co-sponsors two speaker series: “Money Talks”
and “Conversations on the Lawn.” The Center also
supports the School’s annual symposium.
Jeffrey C. Walker (McIntire ‘77) has supported
the Center’s commitment to build intellectual
capital through the establishment of the Walker
Professorship in Growth Enterprises. George
Overstreet is the current Walker Professor. The
Center for Growth Enterprises was endowed by
Crestar Bank and F. Evans Farwell (McIntire ‘29) of
Milliken & Farwell. It also receives funds for faculty
research in real estate from the King Endowment and
funds to support case development from the Dinos
Endowment.
One of the major initiatives under development
within the Center for Growth Enterprises is The Real
Estate Institute at the University of Virginia. The
Institute will be the driving force behind a planned
comprehensive real estate program that will include:
•
•
•
•
•
Centers of Excellence

learning in both graduate coursework and a
focused, interdisciplinary minor for undergraduate

The McIntire Center for Financial Innovation
The McIntire Center for Financial Innovation advances
our understanding of finance through research
and programs focused on capital markets and the
nuances of investing. It encourages the collaboration
of faculty and executives, particularly alumni, in the
classroom and in research and case development
projects. In the process, world-class scholars and
practitioners become research and teaching mentors
for students and faculty, allowing them to work with
the best scholars and practitioners in the world.
The Center was endowed by John A. Griffin
(McIntire ’85) and previously received significant
annual funding from Mr. and Mrs. William H. Goodwin
Jr. (Darden ’66).
