Big news about big bucks (and a few more details about that soccer stadium)
At the State of the University on Wednesday, the big news was all about the big bucks– a recent $1 million anonymous gift to the university for a soccer stadium and the $45,000-plus savings possible for those students selected for Lynn’s new 3-year degree program. As the Sun-Sentinel’s Scott Travis reported, the Lynn Degree 3.0 initiative “will start next school year and will be available to freshmen who receive at least a 3.0 grade point average their fall semester and maintain or improve their GPA during the spring semester.”
Exciting stuff. And the 3.0 marketing materials are already moving. The table tent above will be going on the road with Lynn’s admissions officers beginning immediately. (That’s our Lynn design team, Andreia Brunstein and Shaun Aaron in the background.)
As for the soccer stadium, here are a few more details you didn’t hear about Wednesday. The site selected for such a facility is the current intramural field (west of the deHoernle Center) and is expected – according to our most recent athletics master plan – to have approximately 1,000 seats.
Last but not least in this rundown of State of the U news: if you were at the fourth annual address by Dr. Ross, you saw the person below snapping pictures from a variety of angles. Some of those pics have been loaded to our Facebook page. And the photographer? None other than CIC grad and master’s student (and marketing photographer!) Carolina Gonzalez. The photographer on this blurry shot? Me. Yes… that’s why we have Carolina shoot the important stuff!
