As part of the university's capital campaign, it was recently announced that Point Loma Nazarene University has received a $200,000 gift toward the construction of Smee Hall, the new facility that will house the Department of Theology and Christian Ministry and the Center for Pastoral Leadership. The gift was donated by the James L. Stamps Foundation.
The Stamps Foundation has been an active friend of PLNU over the years, supporting the university with scholarships for students preparing for ministry. Previously, the Foundation assisted with the addition of the lobby in Rohr Religion; however, the most recent donation is the first capital gift the university has received from them.
“This gift is significant and is yet another reminder that people outside of the university and foundations really believe in the work being done at PLNU,” said Eric Groves, director of Development. “We are extremely thankful for the support of the James L. Stamps Foundation.”
The construction process is proceeding for Smee Hall as contractors are secured and work continues toward a completion date in Spring of 2008.
