Tom Anderson’s career has taken many successful turns — excelling in wealth management, publishing bestselling books, developing technology tools for financial services professionals.

Along the way, Anderson, BSBA 1996, has supported WashU, through financial gifts and his service as a member of the university’s Chicago Regional Cabinet.

In this article in WashU Magazine, he talks about his experiences at WashU, and why he continues to provide support for his alma mater.

I give to the university because it is a successful institution. When you support success, you’re not just maintaining momentum — you’re amplifying it.
