SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – Officials with Morningside University announced a $1.5 million estate gift that will fund a renovation of the university’s track and field complex.
In a news release, the gift will go to renovations including a new turf, enhanced drainage systems and improved paving around the track.
The university said the generous donation comes from a friend of the university whose life and legacy reflected a commitment to the Siouxland region and beyond.
”This extraordinary gift demonstrates the profound impact that friends of Morningside can have on our campus community,” said Morningside University President Dr. Albert Mosley. “The new turf will not only elevate our track, field, soccer, and football programs to new heights, but will also serve as a testament to the donor’s belief in the transformative power of athletics and education. We are deeply grateful for this investment in our students’ future.”
Construction is expected to begin in mid-May.
This latest gift follows the announcements of at least six other major donations of $1 million or more over the past several months, including those from Jim & Sharon Walker, Regina Roth, Larry & Joan Arnold, Tom Rosen, Dave Honeck, an anonymous donor, and Curt & Linda White.
