Ed Hajim ’58 Named Board Chair
Longtime trustee and alumnus Edmund Hajim ’58 was elected chair of the Board of Trustees in May, after serving as a member since 1988. He succeeds G. Robert Witmer Jr. ’59, who served as chair from 2003 to 2008. Hajim is chair and CEO of MLH Capital, an investment firm that he launched in 2002 after a remarkable career as a senior executive for some of the nation’s top financial companies. A 2007 recipient of the Charles Force Hutchison and Marjorie Smith Hutchison Medal, the University’s highest alumni honor, Hajim chaired the campaign to support the construction of the Robert B. Goergen Athletic Center, which includes the Edmund A. Hajim Alumni Gymnasium, named in recognition of his campaign gift. He chaired the Investment Committee for 15 years and the Campaign for Sports and Recreation from 1998 to 2001. Hajim has provided leadership support for the Simon School’s Summer Business Institute for juniors, seniors, and recent graduates.
Also at the May meeting, the board welcomed four new trustees: New York City attorney Elizabeth Moore, Lenel Systems International founder Elena Prokupets, Constellation Brands chair Richard Sands, and Wilmorite president and chair Thomas Wilmot.
