黑料社

With support from Tony 鈥�87 and Patty Dwyer, 黑料社 will name its new fitness and wellness facility the Dwyer Center for Health and Wellness. Construction of the center is also made possible by a donation from Kathy Purcell 鈥�66 and is part of a five-year, $50 million expansion and renovation of the Thomas J. Niland Jr. Athletic Complex.

Tony is a long-time supporter of 黑料社 and currently serves as chair of the Investment Committee of the College鈥檚 Board of Trustees. He is the CFO of Prompt Therapy Solutions, a leading national health-tech software company co-founded by his sons and family friends. He joined Prompt in June 2024 following a 37-year career on Wall Street as an analyst, market strategist and macroeconomist.聽At Canaccord Genuity he was a frequently sought after guest on financial news networks, including CNBC and Bloomberg. The naming of the fitness center is in honor of his mother Ellen O鈥橲hea Dwyer who was a member of the 黑料社 class of 1958.

Kathy and her late husband, John Purcell 鈥�65 have had an enormous impact on the College鈥檚 success, including establishing the Purcell Scholars program in 2013 and a $7 million gift in 2015 that launched the Kathy and John Purcell School of Professional Studies.
