A Pennsylvania energy executive has donated $10 million to further ethics education at the University of St. Thomas' Opus College of Business.
"I have come to know and admire St. Thomas' scholars and programs devoted to corporate ethics," said Harry Halloran, chief executive officer of American Refining Group and Energy Unlimited. "The university and its Opus College of Business are leaders in this critically important field, and I am grateful to be able to support their efforts."
Halloran's donation will support work in corporate ethics and responsibility undertaken by the business school's Self-Assessment and Improvement Process Institute and the Center for Ethical Business Cultures.

St. Thomas has about 4,500 graduate and undergraduate students in its business school. It enrolls another 7,800 participants annually in continuing executive education classes.
