The McCormick Family

The McCormicks, both members of the class of 1988, met while attending Marist and have been involved with the College ever since then. Genine, a CPA, is a Marist Board of Trustee member. Her husband, Michael, has spent more than 30 years in the finance industry as a partner and portfolio manager with New York City's investment firm, Gilder, Gagnon, Howe & Co, LLC. He was instrumental in the development of Marist’s Investment Center and the Greystone Equity Fund, and was a driving force in the establishment of the newly-launched School of Management Career Center at Marist, which offers students and alumni an array of programs and services to help them succeed in an increasingly competitive job market.  In the Spring of 2019, in the North Campus Housing Complex, Marist College formally dedicated McCormick Hall in recognition of Michael and Genine.

In 2000, the McCormicks established the McCormick Family Foundation to support programs that create a positive impact on children’s lives. Over the years this foundation has grown and assisted various programs that are collectively helping to achieve this goal. Today, the McCormick's philanthropy honorably expands with the establishment of the McCormick Family Foundation–Long Reach Scholarship Program. The Long Reach Scholarship at Marist is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptional achievement in studying history. Learn More >
