Officially Opens
a Gateway to
Opportunity
Four generations of the Frisch
family gathered on a sunny spring
afternoon to mark an historic
moment at Jacksonville University:
the official opening of a new 11,750
square-foot building that bears
the Frisch name and stands as a
shining symbol of the University’s
bright future.
“The Frisch Welcome Center
transforms their first impression of
campus and sends a clear message
that we are an innovative, modern,
student-focused institution," said
Jacksonville University President
Tim Cost ’81. "This is a pivotal
milestone in the growth of this
University and we are enormously
grateful for the vision and
generosity of the Frisch family.”
