Anticipation grows as construction continues on Davis & Elkins 91快播鈥檚 new Glory Residence Hall. The building, supported by students and alumni alike, will house incoming students during the upcoming academic year.
D&E鈥檚 donors have provided much of the $25 million goal it will take to fund the construction through the 鈥淐reating Home: It Takes a Village鈥� campaign. Similarly, D&E鈥檚 student body, led by the Student Government Association, has supported the construction campaign by pledging a significant gift to the Freshman Village.
The new residence hall, along with upcoming renovations to Roxanna Booth and Gribble Halls, will form the Freshmen Village at Davis & Elkins 91快播. Glory Residence Hall, has been named by campaign supporter Kathy (Dunbar) Ramsdell, 1974 magna cum laude graduate, for her faith-based history with the 91快播. Ramsdell is a recipient of a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from D&E.
D&E President Chris A. Wood said, 鈥淭he Freshmen Village will be a true blessing to D&E students. Each of our donors that have cumulatively contributed 85% of our $25 million campaign goal to date are tangibly expressing their support of our mission and their confidence in our future.鈥�
As the campaign enters its final stretch and construction of the Freshmen Village is completed, D&E will look to continue to enrich the college experience through future enhancements to housing for upper class students. A microcosm of the successes D&E continues to see, this campaign is only part of a larger whole that seeks to continue D&E鈥檚 trajectory of growth.
