Walsh College Recipient of Second Largest Charitable Gift in History of School

TROY (WWJ) -- Walsh College announced Thursday that Tim Moore, managing shareholder at Doeren Mayhew Houston, with wife Sandra, have pledged the second largest donation from an alumnus in the history of the school.

The scholarship will help deserving students earn a degree at Walsh College and will be available to all enrolled Walsh students, regardless of degree level, who enter the college with a grade point average of 3.0. Preference will be given to students studying accounting or finance.

Said Walsh College President and CEO Stephanie Bergeron: "The value of a Walsh education is very evident to Mr. Moore, a proud Walsh alum, and Doeren Mayhew, a valued partner who actively recruits our strong students."

Tim Moore earned his bachelor of accountancy degree from Walsh College in 1979, and was hired by Doeren Mayhew a year later. Moore then left for Houston, Texas in 1984 and started his own accounting firm, T.R. Moore & Co.

With the help of Sandra, who managed marketing and public relations for the firm, Tim Moore grew the firm into an award-winning practice, which then merged with Doeren Mayhew in 2010.

Tim Moore has demonstrated an ongoing interest in his alma mater and has helped the college meet and interact with alumni in the Houston area. They have been Walsh College donors for more than 20 years.

Founded in 1922, Walsh College is a private institution offering upper-division undergraduate and graduate business and technology degrees and certificate programs. One of Southeast Michigan's largest business schools, Walsh has locations in Troy, Novi, Clinton Township and Port Huron, as well as online.

Walsh's business services division offers the Walsh Institute, which provides training, continuing education and consulting for business.
