McShane, Fordham University president; Donna Rapaccioli, dean of the Gabelli School of Business, and Mario Gabelli, donor of the The Gabelli School of Business.
Chirico said the company has donated $1 million over a five-year period to develop students into ethical and conscientious business leaders.
