Learn about the mission and vision of the Truist Center for Global Capitalism and Ethics, as well as how ongoing funding efforts are managed.
The Truist Center for Global Capitalism and Ethics promotes the understanding of the importance of and the underlying moral foundations of the capitalistic market structure.
It conducts a series of public lectures, facilitates the teaching of courses on capitalism, administers an annual capitalism Book Giveaway, supports student and faculty research/learning about the market economy and related public policy issues, and promotes entrepreneurial thinking among minority middle- and high-school students in our community.
The Truist Center for Global Capitalism and Ethics seeks to impact our community and state by producing graduates that value freedom, human creativity, reason, fiscal responsibility, the market system, the underlying ethics of the market system, and the role of the government in promoting economic efficiency.
The Center was funded by a one million dollar gift from the BB&T charitable foundation. These funds are now managed in the undergraduate class FIN 440 "Portfolio Design and Management."
