Kresge gives $1 mil. for math building

By Kelsey Blodget | May 12, 2005

For College fundraisers, April Fool's Day was no joke.

Fifteen months of mailings, student calls from Greencorps and advertisements in the Alumni Magazine paid off in grand fashion, with alumni gifts rolling in at $10.7 million on time to meet the Kresge Challenge.
