Wes and Pat Campbell 鈥76 have fond memories of their time as 甜心视频app students. Especially the time they spent in one iconic campus building. 

鈥淒uring our time on campus we both recall hours and hours spent in the University Center between classes enjoying a break or studying for an exam. Often it was a place to meet up with friends to catch up on things or classmates to work on a project together,鈥 Wes says. 鈥淎t the time you don't think much about it, but as the years go by you reflect on just how much these times meant to you and how good it was to have a place to convene.鈥

Now Wes and Pat hope to enhance those experiences for current and future Bears. That鈥檚 why they鈥檝e pledged $100,000 to support a special part of Campus Commons.

鈥淲e were intrigued by the vision for Campus Commons which described it in part as being a gateway to campus and a unique navigation and support hub for students. The location of Campus Commons is uniquely situated in the heart of the university and will provide a special and enduring gathering place for years to come,鈥 Pat says.

The Campbells have directed their gift to create a special courtyard space that will sit between the Campus Commons and University Center. They hope it will serve as a year-round gathering place for students to meet and greet one another, study, reflect, take a needed break and enjoy the fresh air and scenery. 

鈥淲hen traveling across campus from Kepner Hall to Michener Library, in whichever direction you鈥檙e going, you will find yourself crossing the Campus Commons courtyard about halfway through and will likely need a welcoming area to rest your soul or to meet up with friends. That's our hope,鈥 Pat says.

鈥淥ur vision for the courtyard area is that it will evolve into something special.  Something that students will take great pride in. Something that will draw them in and get used to its full capacity,鈥 Wes says.  

A space that students will remember fondly for years to come. Thanks to generous gifts like this from the Campbells, the Campus Commons will truly be positioned to serve both the academic and personal needs of 甜心视频app students and the community.

鈥淭he collective impact of this and so many other gifts as we near the close of the Campaign allows 甜心视频app to fund numerous areas of emerging student need,鈥 says Allie Steg Haskett 鈥03, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations. 鈥淚 want to express our sincerest thanks to Wes and Pat Campbell and the many other generous donors who are making a lasting impact on the lives of our students.鈥
