Halloran, Golubock Honored by UPB
Harry Halloran Jr., board chairman and owner of American Refining Group, and Harvey Golubock, ARG’s president and chief operating officer, will be given the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford's Presidential Medal of Distinction, the university’s highest honor.
University President Dr. Livingston Alexander says their gifts of property and funding for scholarships and energy-related projects will enable the university to make college more affordable for their students and position the institution to better serve the workforce and needs of the bustling oil and gas industries.
Most recently, ARG and Halloran Philanthropies gave the university a gift of $500,000. The first half of the gift will be endowed, and funds generated from the endowment will support scholarships. The second half of the gift will be used to help Pitt-Bradford develop its Energy Institute, which will foster the study of traditional fossil-fuel applications and pilot renewable energy projects.
In 2006, ARG donated to the university 130 acres of land on West Corydon Street, which at that time had an appraised value of $140,000. The gift of property nearly doubled the physical size of the campus. Profits from future sales of timber on the property will be used to establish a scholarship fund for the children of ARG employees.
Golubock and Halloran will be recognized during Pitt-Bradford's commencement exercises on April 27.
