BC Alumnus Gift Establishes Fellowship for Irish Students
Irish entrepreneur and philanthropist Denis O’Brien has donated a financial gift to establish an MBA fellowship for Irish students at the BC Carroll School of Management. Each year, the fellowship will fully fund the cost of the MBA program at BC for two Irish students. O’Brien is the chairman and principal shareholder of Digicel Group, one of the world’s fastest growing cellular companies as well as the owner and board member of Communicorp, Ireland’s largest media holding company.
An alumnus of BC’s MBA program, O’Brien created the Fellowship at Boston College to provide an opportunity for aspiring business leaders from Ireland to obtain a graduate education at a premier American university. O’Brien graduated from BC’s Carroll School of Management with an MBA in corporate finance in 1982.
