The Wayne State Foundation has announced that it has secured more than $13 million in private philanthropic commitments for the Brandenburg Student Success Center renovation project, making it the largest privately funded project in Wayne State College history.
The historic campaign was made possible through a landmark $5 million leadership gift from Wayne State alumni Don and Diane (Massman) Soukup, whose extraordinary generosity established the campaign's momentum and inspired transformational investments from the Sherwood Foundation and the William and Ruth Scott Family Foundation. Together, these commitments total more than $13 million, representing an unprecedented investment in the future of Wayne State College.
Their vision for the Brandenburg Student Success Center is rooted in the belief that every student deserves the resources and support needed to succeed from the moment they step on campus through graduation.
The Brandenburg Student Success Center represents an $18.7-million investment in students and the future workforce of northeast Nebraska.
To commemorate this historic milestone, the Wayne State Foundation and Wayne State College invite alumni, donors, friends, and members of the community to attend the Brandenburg Student Success Center groundbreaking and dedication celebration during Wayne State College’s Homecoming weekend.
The celebration will take place on Friday, Oct. 2, on the north side of Brandenburg Hall. Guests are invited to arrive beginning at 4:30 p.m. to enjoy a reception, facility tours, and live entertainment before the official ceremony.
