Standard Process, Inc. Gift to Student Commons Space

Thanks to a new additional building improvement donation by Standard Process, Inc., the patio space outside of the Standard Process Commons will be getting enhancements in 2022. Enhancing this outdoor space has been a central piece of the vision since moving into the new campus in 2020.

“We’re truly grateful for the generous philanthropic partnership from our colleagues at Standard Process,” said Amy Lodholz, director of development and engagement. “It’s with their continued support each year that are able to not only offer state of the art facilities for learning but also spaces for community building and friendships on campus.”

This gift allows for access and usage of the Standard Process Student Commons outdoor area all year round – through rain and hot sun, our students and campus community can enjoy the commons. In addition, outside engagement has become so much more important during this pandemic.
