Recognition
Amy and David Chandler Hall
At the WKU Board of Regents meeting on Friday, August 8, the philanthropic naming of the new facility to house the Gordon Ford College of Business was approved as Amy and David Chandler Hall. The naming was made in recognition of a commitment of $7.5 million from the Chandlers.
“Western Kentucky University holds a special place of pride in our hearts,” David Chandler ('82) said. “It’s where we discovered our passion for business and built the foundation for our future. We are honored to be able to support the construction of the new home of the Gordon Ford College of Business with this gift, which reflects our belief in the power of education to transform lives.”
“We hope this investment helps provide students at WKU with the tools, opportunities and leadership skills they need to succeed,” Amy Hale Chandler ('93) said. “And we hope they use those attributes to pursue their own giving opportunities for the benefit of others, just as we once dreamed of doing as students at WKU.”
The Chandlers’ philanthropy encompasses a wide range of causes, from WKU athletics and academics to the Chandler Memorial Chapel and other community efforts.
