Letter from the President

 
October 28, 2011

 

Dear friends and colleagues,

 

It is my pleasure to announce that dear friends to the university, Ron '68 and Norma DeVolder as well as the Lynn Roberts Ramsdell Trust are providing gifts in excess of $2.3 million to Western Oregon University. This is the family's latest gift and represents the largest ever single gift to WOU. Their continued generosity to WOU reflects Ron's leadership on the WOU Foundation Board.

 

In honor of these contributions, the university's new science laboratory building will be named the DeVolder Family Science Center. During difficult financial times such as these, we look to supporters of Western Oregon University to help us in areas of need. As the university has grown over recent years, some areas of campus have reached capacity. The Natural Science Building and facilities within the building are examples of this. We need more space to support the 3,500 students attending classes annually in this building - especially for the introductory classes taken by students to fulfill their LACC requirements, in addition to our science majors.

 

The DeVolder Family Science Center will include approximately 21,000 square feet of new space, including at least six new 1,200 square foot laboratories, built to today's technological and scientific standards. This facility will provide space for the transfer of the entire Chemistry Department and the anatomy-physiology components of the biology program. The remainder of the Biology Department as well as the earth and physical sciences will expand within the remainder of the NS Building.

 

Please join me in thanking Ron and Norma for this most meaningful demonstration of their support to our university. There are still naming opportunities available. If you, or someone you know, may be interested in supporting this project, please contact Tommy Love, the director of advancement and executive director of the WOU Foundation, at lovet@wou.edu or 503-838-8134.

 

 

Sincerely and with deep appreciation,

 


Mark Weiss
President, Western Oregon University
