RICHMOND, Ky. — Commonwealth Credit Union (CCU) has provided Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) a $1 million gift to support the Evans Banking and Financial Services program and the establishment of a new certificate program in Financial Technology and Cybercrime.
“I’m honored to announce our $1 million gift that will help equip the next generation of graduates as they enter the workforce,” said CCU President and CEO Karen Harbin. “While this donation will help launch the Financial and Cybersecurity certification program, it’s also an investment in keeping our best and brightest right here in Kentucky as they begin their careers. I’ve been where these students are, and as a proud EKU alumna, this opportunity is one that is near and dear to my heart.”
Learning Commons is Renamed
Harbin joined EKU President Dr. David McFaddin and Rep. Andy Barr to officially announce Commonwealth Credit Union’s gift. The announcement was made in the EKU Business and Technology Center Atrium. Harbin, McFaddin, and Barr spoke about the industry's need for this type of education and their shared vision for what this certification program would encompass, which will be the first of its kind in the US.
In recognition of Commonwealth Credit Union’s gift, the Learning Commons at Eastern Kentucky University’s Stratton Building will be renamed the Commonwealth Credit Union Learning Lounge.
The $2-billion Commonwealth Credit Union has more than 118,000 members.
