Thomas “Tom” Finke leverages nearly 30 years of experience in the banking and investment industries to serve as chairman and CEO of Barings LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina. Alongside his work as an investment executive, Thomas Finke serves as a member of the Capital Campaign Committee for Davidson College.
As part of its efforts to meet the wide-ranging needs of all students, Davidson College recently opened Lula Bell’s, a new campus gathering spot that will serve as a resource for food, clothing, textbooks, and items such as toothpaste and shampoo. Named in honor of longtime Davidson employee Lula Bell, who worked at the school laundry for more than 60 years, the facility will also feature educational programming on interviewing, money management, and other life-skills topics.
Lula Bell’s was launched with the support of a gift from Decker Anstrom and Sherry Hiemstra. The Washington, DC, residents donated the money in memory of their son Tom Anstrom, a 2004 Davidson graduate. They and Lula Bell were among those who attended the October 2017 dedication of the new campus resource center.
