The grant moves KWU to $3.8 million raised of the $4.5 million required to begin construction on the Sams Chapel and Music academic space renovation project.<\/p>\n<p>The funding from the Mabee Foundation will be awarded to the university as long as the remaining $700,000 is raised \u2013 in cash or multi-year pledge commitments \u2013 by Oct. 11, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The grant continues the Mabee Foundation\u2019s long-term support of Kansas Wesleyan. The foundation has supported four of KWU\u2019s major construction projects during the past two decades, including the Student Activities Center (2005), the Graves Family Sports Complex (2015), the Nursing Education Center (2021) and, now, the music renovation and construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupport from the Mabee Foundation has been crucial in the continuous improvement of our campus,\u201d said Ken Oliver, executive vice president of Advancement and university operations. \u201cOnce again, the foundation has provided us important momentum as we look to close out a key project. We are truly thankful for this grant, and believe that it sets us on the path to reaching our campaign goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Renovations and construction related to the Music campaign will begin as soon as possible upon the completion of fundraising.<\/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":24229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
