“My education from ANU has given me the confidence to master anything I want to accomplish in life.”

American National University graduate Jack Hatfield recently debuted the Hatfield & McCoy Foundation and Museum to honor his infamous family heritage. Throughout tackling both for-profit and non-profit businesses, Jack stated that he could not imagine his success without his ANU School of Business education. “It’s been quite an interesting journey going from the for-profit world to the nonprofit world,” he noted. “Now I’m working on grant proposals and all these other things where I’m used to working on and creating policies and procedures. Now, I’m having to switch those gears. But, on the business side, it’s still a business(2022).”
