O’Neill Hall, and Allan & Radwan Riley Financial Aid Gift

Posted on by
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.

Brenda Carr’s Mother Passed-Away

Posted on by
Dear UR Colleagues,
It is with a heavy heart that I advise you of the passing of Louise Mainer, Brenda Carr’s mother. Brenda was a devoted daughter and served as her mother’s primary caregiver for many years.  She truly honored her mother by providing loving care.  Every single day, Brenda visited with her Mom and delivered lunch and dinner.  She was known to go out of her way to pick up some of her mother’s favorite meals. Their relationship was a true example of unconditional love.
Arrangements are pending.  I will share more information as it becomes available.
