威尼斯人娱乐城庆祝了维克多·威尔逊学习合作组织的成立。
This transformative space on the fourth floor of the Miller Nichols Library is designed to centralize and enhance the university’s academic support services, offering students a modern, collaborative environment to thrive. It features open study areas, meeting rooms, laptop stations and dedicated spaces for programs like 威尼斯人娱乐城-created 补充说明, 同行学术领导 and 第一代罗学者.
“这个中心不仅仅是一个物理空间； it's a commitment to our students' success,” said Kristi Holsinger, senior vice provost for student success. “By bringing essential resources together in one location, we're removing barriers and creating opportunities for every student to excel."
米勒·尼科尔斯慈善基金会为该空间发起了200万美元的比赛挑战，马里昂和亨利·布洛赫家庭基金会和维克多·威尔逊信托基金会慷慨捐赠。 The space is named in honor of Victor Wilson, a Kansas City native whose multi-million legacy gift has funded thousands of 学生奖学金 and supported campus improvements for 75 years.
"Victor Wilson's vision was to invest in the future of Kansas City through education,” said Amanda Davis, chief advancement officer and president of the 威尼斯人娱乐城基金会. “His generosity has not only provided scholarships, but has also laid the foundation for a space where students can connect, learn and succeed. 这个中心证明了体贴的捐赠具有持久的力量。”
该项目还得到了教育、社会工作和心理科学学院名誉教授伊丽莎白·诺布尔（Elizabeth Noble） 25万美元的捐赠。 维克多·威尔逊学习合作项目将于6月2日对学生开放。
