KWU announced this week that Fancher has made another contribution, this one monetary, as he recently gifted $250,000 in support of the sciences at KWU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I interviewed for a faculty position at KWU, Dr. Paul Renich told me he didn\u2019t want me if I was only coming to teach,\u201d said Fancher. \u201cHe told me he was looking for someone who could help make KWU great. That challenge appealed to me then, and it still appeals to me now. I hope this donation will help attract and retain high quality students who will do great things in the sciences, and later provide great alumni support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fancher\u2019s donation will primarily support departmental scholarships. It boosts the total raised in KWU\u2019s Power of AND campaign to nearly $20 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDave Fancher has been a significant face in the development of Kansas Wesleyan,\u201d said Ken Oliver, vice president of Advancement and University Operations. \u201cHe has not only personally supported KWU through the years, but has made it a priority to bring together graduates from across the country, and to garner their support as well. His efforts have been critical in helping us advance the sciences at Kansas Wesleyan, and we are truly grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17140,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[177,150],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academics","category-alumni"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
