The Terry College of Business received a $1 million gift from EY that will expand efforts to enhance student diversity through recruitment, professional development and mentorships.

The Terry College of Business students know the famous name. In the 1960s, John W. “Jack” Rooker (BBA ’60) entered working life with his father — Terry alum William A. Rooker Sr. (BSC ’33) — at Southern Bonded Warehouse, a third-party logistics company that stored and shipped inventory for businesses in fast-growing Atlanta. In a few years, Jack evolved the family interests, launching an industrial real estate development company.
