The Magnusson Directorship

Tim and Sherry Magnusson, both 1994 graduates of CMU, have provided a generous gift of $100,000 to the Michigan Finance Scholars Program. This gift will provide support for programming and student travel to competitions, to visit companies and to meet alumni and other finance leaders throughout the U.S.

Tim is the co-founder of Garda Capital Partners, which has offices in Minneapolis, New York, Geneva, Copenhagen, and Singapore. True champions of the MFS Program, Tim and Sherry have hosted students, faculty and alumni in Minneapolis at Garda Capital. They have provided mentoring, internships and employment to finance alumni, in addition to other financial support for the MFS Program.

“Sherry and I have been supporters of the Michigan Finance Scholars program virtually since its inception. Having both graduated from the CBA many years ago, we recognize the importance in giving the CBA’s best and brightest students the opportunity to strive for excellence, particularly in the field of Finance where I’ve made my career. We choose to support the CBA through charitable giving because we believe in giving back to the institution that gave us so much. We want to see students at CMU thrive, and hopefully they too will pay it back some day by helping another student.”
