“The foundation for my business success is everything I learned in the classroom, through campus leadership experiences, and practical business experience I gained at DePauw and the Management Fellows Program. By contributing to new student housing, Lisa and I want to support similar experiences for current and future students,” Jeff Harmening said in a news release.
