Several cooking and dishwashing equipment updates have been completed recently in the Campus Center. Plans for a central passenger elevator and a new, open look for the dining hall are being drawn. Repairs and improvements completed in the science hall include new electrical service, ceilings and blackboards throughout. Endowment Increasing endowment is one of Dana's most important challenges. Annual interest from large endowments provides a consistent and reliable source of scholarship funds.
Endowments can also support lecture series, special educational projects, and professorships.
The Richardson Endowed Professorship is a prime example of what is possible with a sizable endowment. All gifts to the Legacy Campaign, large or small, make a difference at Dana. Volunteer membership is available to anyone, including non-Lutherans. Fifty-six individuals and couples have joined the ranks of the Dana Builders, those who have made arrangements for Dana College in their estate plans. Planned gifts can be in the form of a will, charitable trust, insurance policy, gift annuity, retirement plan or other deferred gift.
