Connecticut College Endowment

Investment decisions are governed by the Board of Trustees, with oversight from an investment committee that includes Francine J. Bovich, a former managing director at Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Day-to-day management is executed by the college's administration under this committee's guidance. The trustees bring deep institutional asset management experience, including John Linehan, CIO of Equity at T. Rowe Price, and Jessica Archibald, a managing director at the venture fund-of-funds firm Top Tier Capital Partners.

Connecticut College is a member of NESCAC, the New England Small College Athletic Conference, which includes institutions like Amherst, Williams, and Bowdoin. The athletic conference doubles as a de facto endowment peer group, though Connecticut College's endowment is structurally smaller than the multibillion-dollar pools at Amherst and Williams. The NESCAC affiliation provides a competitive admissions and alumni-giving framework that indirectly supports endowment growth.
