Kresge gives $1 mil. for math building

By Kelsey Blodget | May 12, 2005

For College fundraisers, April Fool's Day was no joke. The Kresge Foundation, a private grant-giving organization, promised to reward the College with a whopping $1 million challenge grant toward the construction of new math department home Kemeny Hall if it could raise $10.6 million by April 1. 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. The 60,000 square-foot Kemeny Hall, under construction north of Baker-Berry Library, will reunite the math department, previously split between Sudikoff, the Choate House and Bradley Hall.
