June 8, 2021 – On Tuesday, May 11, the College welcomed King’s alumnus Edward Kearney ’74 and his family to campus for a special presentation held in the Burke Auditorium located in the William G. McGowan School of Business, following all recommended CDC guidelines for indoor gatherings. In September 2020, King’s announced that in recognition of a $1,000,000 commitment from Mr. Kearney, his wife, Anne, and his business, Kearney & Company, it was naming the College’s well-respected Accounting Department as the Kearney & Company Department of Accounting. Due to the pandemic, the College was unable to publicly celebrate and recognize the Kearney gift in person at that time.
