Noe family gift to the Hayden-Clark Alumni Center It is a fact that human beings bleed red, but in some rare instances, there are people who have been known to bleed Bradley Red. The Noe family does just that. They have been an integral part of the Bradley Family for many decades. They cheer on the athletic teams, mentor current students, organize alumni events and financially support the University in a variety of ways.
Recently, the Noe family announced their gift of $25,000 to the Hayden-Clark Alumni Center in order to name the office for visiting alumni. The one-time gift, to be paid over five years, will create a working office within the Alumni Center for alumni to conduct business while away from their own office. It will be a state-of-the-art facility with all of the business equipment necessary to hold a meeting, work remotely or just stop in to check email.
"The Noe family has been unbelievably intertwined with the campus for as long as people can remember," said Executive Director Alumni Relations, Lori Fan. "They are the quintessential Bradley Family," she added. This relationship has developed strong and deep roots in the fertile soil of Bradley University. Mary Jane Noe began a rewarding career at Bradley in 1986 when she came to work in the Financial Aid Department. After many years of working for the University in various positions, she retired in 2002 from the Development Office. As an employee of Bradley, she was able to take advantage of Bradley's tuition remission benefit. Mary
