Dear colleagues,
The University announced two leadership gifts this past weekend.
Helen and Charles Schwab made a $25 million gift in honor of Helen’s brother, Joe O’Neill, to be directed to the south Campus Crossroads building. We will now refer to the south building as O’Neill Hall. As you know, this building will house the Sacred Music Program and the Department of Music.
Allan and Radwan Riley, through Allan’s estate, gave the largest financial aid gift in our University’s history. We expect this gift to ultimately be greater than $65 million and have already received $22.5 million in cash. This incredibly generous gift will be directed to need- and merit-based undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships.
Greg Dugard
