Today is a day of celebration.
It is a day of fulfilling promises. It is a day of realizing blessings. With hundreds on hand to witness the celebratory event, Donald Lamberti, chairman of Casey's General Stores, Inc. and chair of the BVU Board of Trustees, addressed the audience on behalf of those who had financially supported this major capital project. The amazing progress that this institution has seen in the last 100 years will be a mirror to those accomplishments it will see in the 100 years to come. All new academic buildings at Buena Vista University and the endowments to maintain them are funded 100 percent by philanthropic commitments in advance of construction.
