"When I think about the impact MSCF had on me, I would not be where I am today if it weren't for my education. It gave my career a huge professional and financial boost. The school, the professors and the staff gave me tremendous support, and no it's my turn to give back. It gives me great pleasure to contribute in a way that will help keep the program among the top in the nation and provide others with the same opportunities I had." -- Charles Lenfest, MSCF 2001; Hedge Fund Portfolio Manager at Barclays Global Investors (Photo Above).
