ANGOLA â Trine Universityâs new 96-bed residence facility will be named Fabiani Hall to honor the many contributions made by members of the Fabiani family to the university.
Dante Fabiani, a 1938 Tri-State College graduate who went on to become president of the Crane Company, a plumbing fixtures maker/manufacturer, was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1967 to 1985, serving as chair for several years. His wife Virginia continued supporting the university after his death; the Fabiani Theatre in the Rick L. and Vicki L. James University Center is named in her honor.
Danteâs son Jim Fabiani and granddaughter Elizabeth Rooney are current members of the Trine University Board of Trustees.
