The gala featured CNN personality Mike Smerconish and testaments to 凹痕 from other top regional leaders including: Butz Corporation Chairman Lee Butz, 中国博彩平台校长埃里克·巴伦说, Orasure’s Senior Vice President of Government and External Affairs Debra Fraser-Howze who& recently retired, Prominent Regional Attorney Delores A.

The event raised more than $14,000 for the wing which is part of the campus’ $14.4 million expansion project that is opening in phases beginning this month. 除了 to a full-service dining hall and additional student networking space, the STEM portion of the expansion includes an organic chemistry lab and other student resources. Each portion will allow the university to deliver the skillsets desired by regional employers and allow students to complete the full complement of undergraduate courses needed to apply for medical school locally. Attendees got a special look at the expansion thanks to a video documenting its progress from the Butz Corporation.
In her remarks at the event, 中国博彩平台 Chancellor 蒂娜问. 理查森直接对查理说, “查理, we are so honored to have your name on our STEM wing in the new expansion – and so appreciative of your support and advocacy for this project. On behalf of the countless students whose lives you will touch through this initiative - thank you,理查森说.
