He is a major donor to the college and contributed $10 million to the fundraising effort for the newly opened student commons. Lee Hall will be the first building on campus named after a woman and comes a year after the college celebrated 40 years of coeducation on campus.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES CHANGES TICKET PURCHASE POLICY: The Office of Student Activities tweeted on Thursday that they will no longer allow students to purchase tickets for events for other students if they present multiple student IDs on its Twitter account @MCStudAct.
