CEDARVILLE RECEIVES TRANSFORMATIONAL GIFT TO FUND NEW ACADEMIC CENTER During homecoming week, Cedarville received a $15 million transformational gift from anonymous donors who expressed their passion for Cedarville’s mission. Cedarville President Dr. Thomas White made the announcement during his annual State of the University address. The generous donors gave toward the final facility planned as part of the One Thousand Days Transformed campaign — a new $35 million Academic Center. This domed, all-brick, threestory Center will provide classroom, collaboration, and office spaces for the outstanding faculty and programs in Cedarville’s academic core, including history and government; English, literature, and modern languages; psychology; education; and social work. The other facilities constructed through this campaign include the athletic center expansion, a newwomen’s residence hall, the Chick-fil-A dining center, a civil engineering facility, and the 348-bed residence hall and Scharnberg Business and Communication Center. The final milestone to meet the campaign’s facility goal will be the construction of the new Academic Center. This $15 million gift brings the remaining need to approximately $5 million. “We are grateful for God’s incredible blessing upon this institution,” said Dr. White. “Only He could have orchestrated this unexpected gift and laid this need on the hearts of the donors. We give all glory to God.” COMING SOON Keep an eye out for more information about the new Academic Center in the spring 2025 issue of Cedarville Magazine. 45
