Chaired by Trustee Allan Brittain, this campaign sought to solicit funds from Lenawee County businesses for annual scholarship support. Companies that gave $1,000 or more established scholarships in their businesses names, which were awarded to deserving students from Lenawee County. The volunteer campaign committee strengthened already significant support from the Lenawee business community by raising more than $15,000 from new corporate donors. The 1997-98 Corporate Fund Campaign is now in full swing. Chaired once again by Allan Brittain, the committee of local business and community leaders hopes to double last years total and push the mark over $30,000 in new scholarship giving. I cannot say enough good things about our corporate volunteers, said Jeff Freshcorn, director of annual fund programs. They are just fantastic. Looking Good A significant gift from The Herrick Foundation will fund a variety of physical plant projects on the Adrian campus including new carpet for the hallways in Ledwidge and Archangelus residence halls, further renovations in our science labs, improvements to student recreational areas, new furnishings for the small special events dining room in Benincasa, and landscaping Gifts & Giving around the Fieldhouse. An earlier gift from Charles and 1996-97 Maddie Hikes provided landscaping around Dominican Hall. Technology Support Technology enhancements are the focus of a $100,000 gift from the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The grant made possible a new 24-hour computer room in the residence halls, enabling students to continue working after the 11 p.m closing (5 p.m. Friday and Saturday) of the Dominican Hall computer center. The gift also provides funds for other technology needs as well as development support for the college web page (www.sienahts.edu). Over the last few years, the Adrian Dominicans have been very generous to Siena, providing support for admissions and marketing, capital improvements, campus signs, endowment and technology. 15 Play Ball! The College recently received a generous gift from Ms. Wilma Christensen in memory of her parents, George and Wilma Christensen, to construct a softball field for our womens varsity softball team. The field, to be located on the current practice soccer field, also will be available for intramurals. This project addresses an important equity issue within the athletic program and should assist with student recruitment, as well. Home Improvements Thanks to the strong support of the Lenawee banking community, Siena Heights has made many vital physical plant repairs and improvements funded through a $4 million tax-exempt bond issue. Included in the long list of improvements: a new roof, new floor, and new lighting, heating and ventilation systems for the Fieldhouse; resurfaced driveways and parking lots; new or repaired roofs for Benincasa, Lumen Chapel and the Performing Arts Center; new elevator, storage shed and other improvements for Studio Angelico; and assorted repairs in Ledwidge and Archangelus Halls.
