The chairman of Touro College’s board is giving the school $10 million. In honor of the donation by Mark Hasten and his wife, Anna Ruth, the school announced that the new campus of Lander College for Women in New York City will be renamed the Lander College for Women/The Anna Ruth and Mark Hasten School. Hasten, who lives in Indianapolis, chairs Touro’s Board of Trustees and its Board of Overseers. In a press release, Touro College founder and president Bernard Lander called the gift “extraordinarily generous and a tremendous endorsement of Touro’s growth and mission.”
