JTA — Joshua Harris, owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, and his wife, Marjorie, donated $10 million to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
The donation to the prominent business school — the alma mater of US President Donald Trump — will expand research opportunities for students and host events that connect students to alumni and investment experts. The program announced last week will establish the Joshua J. Harris Alternative Investments Program.
Harris is a co-founder, senior managing director and director of Apollo Global Management, an alternative investment manager serving institutional investors worldwide, the university said in a statement.
“Wharton students continue to express a strong interest in alternative investments, and the Harris Program will provide unprecedented resources to enrich their understanding of the industry,” Harris, a 1986 Wharton graduate and longtime supporter of the school, said in a statement.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
