TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) Indiana State University announced Friday it had received three gifts totaling $600,000 from both several alumni and parents of current and recent students.
One came from the McKee family, whose connection to ISU spans three generations and nine decades, who donated $250,000 in support of the President’s Scholars program. In recognition of the gift, ISU’s Board of Trustees on Friday approved the naming of the McKee Family Heritage Lounge in Tirey Hall.
“The McKee family’s connection to Indiana State University is special,” ISU President Deborah J. Curtis said. “This family has made an impressive mark at ISU, and the naming of the McKee Family Heritage Lounge is a fitting tribute recognizing their generous commitment to grow opportunities for students in the President’s Scholars program.”
