整整四分之三个世纪, 唐纳利一直致力于提供负担得起的, 可访问的, 以信仰为基础的教育在堪萨斯城的城市核心, 堪萨斯. 在本地, 地区和国家, Donnelly is setting the bar in educating students from various ethnic and life backgrounds.
Since the College was founded in 1949, the campus has changed dramatically. Some programs have been retired while new ones have been added and thousands of students have walked the halls and crossed the graduation stage. 尽管在过去的75年里发生了很大的变化, 唐纳利以学生为中心的使命保持不变.
The kickoff celebration for the 75th anniversary year will be at this year’s 发光 gala on Thursday, 10月3日. 该活动的筹款目标是100万美元, 哪一个, 如果遇到, would make 发光 2024 the most successful fundraiser in the College’s history. Additional celebratory events will be announced in the coming months.
当支持者和朋友回忆唐纳利的过去时, the College is also laying the foundation for an increasingly bright and impactful future — transforming lives with the power of education for the next 75 years and beyond.
来自支持者、校友和朋友们的良好祝愿
“Donnelly is special to me because working with the caliber of teachers and students at LPL外围网址, I grew into a better version of myself and developed the drive to give back to those I had the opportunity to serve. Although we experienced some tough times at Donnelly during my tenure, I realized after I retired that those were some of the best years of my 38-year experience in higher education. 有时, 似乎我们没有很多东西, but I always knew that the people who served at Donnelly had a lot to give.
I am so gratified to see Donnelly celebrate its 75th anniversary. 我在唐纳利的第一年... 我们的预算非常有限. 去看看美妙的设施和美丽的校园... I think the current administration and the board have done an unbelievable job. They have created a lasting monument that honors all those who have gone before.”
– Dr. 肯·吉布森，前学院院长
