On Thursday, Carroll College hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking for two new apartment-style residence buildings in honor of professors John Downs and Al Murray. As we shared in July, an anonymous donor has very generously provided the college with $5 million to finance the construction of the buildings in order to generate income to fund student scholarships. In keeping with naming the apartments in honor of saints, the donor has requested the college name the buildings for the patron saints of John Downs and Al Murray who both had a profound effect on his life. Family members of the professors, as well as Carroll College President Dr. Tom Evans, Board of Trustee members and other dignitaries were in attendance. Learn more here.
