BB&T gives $1M for UNCG program in capitalism and morality

The BB&T Charitable Foundation is giving $1 million to UNCG's Bryan School of Business and Economics for a program to teach students about connections between morals and economics, according to a Thursday news release from the university.

The gift will support the BB&T Program in Capitalism, Markets and Morality, including an undergraduate class on markets and morality in the Lloyd International Honors College, a graduate course and a new BB&T Distinguished Lecture Service in Capitalism. BB&T's contribution also will create the BB&T Ayn Rand Reading Room, a collection of writings on economic freedom, in the Walter Clinton Jackson Library, the university reported.

The foundation directs philanthropic giving for Winston-Salem-based BB&T Corp., which holds $118.5 in assets and runs more than 1,450 banks.
