Featuring the Coury Family Gift, Andy Rebholz (B’87), Jared Hoff (B’00), and Daniela Osio (B’15)
The School of Business extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Jeff & Christine Coury Family Foundation and The Coury Firm for their recent generous donation to our Investment Strategy Institute (ISI), located on the 6th floor of Rockwell Hall. In recognition of their generosity, the research area in the Institute has been named the Jeff & Christine Coury Family Foundation and The Coury Firm Investment Strategy Institute Research Room.
The Coury family’s connection to Duquesne runs deep. Jeff Coury, Executive Chairman of The Coury Firm and CEO of Mortgage Connect, LP, earned his Bachelor’s in Finance in 1992. Christine Coury received her Bachelor’s in Accounting the same year. Their son is currently a junior at the School of Business. Joining them in this initiative is Gregg Coury, CEO and Chief Compliance Officer of The Coury Firm, who graduated with a Bachelor’s in Finance in 1995. His wife Maria Coury graduated with a Bachelor’s in Health Sciences in 1999 along with earning her Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology in 2000.
This gift will fund significant enhancements to the Investment Strategy Institute, including improving student opportunities and introducing cutting-edge technology. The School deeply appreciates the Coury family’s support, which will provide Business students with difference-making resources for their education and research in the Investment Strategy Institute.
