Alumnus honors former teacher with $2 million gift
A transformational gift made by a grateful alumnus to name the Angela W. Williams 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center on campus will ensure cadets and students continue to have a space to support and guide their academic success.
This $2 million dollar investment was made by Peter L. Lacy, Class of 1992, and his wife, Jill, to establish the Lacy Fund for the 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center. This gift provides financial resources to support and endow the operations of 91ÁÔÆæ’s 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center as well as unrestricted support for the college’s greatest needs through 91ÁÔÆæ Fund. The gift names the 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center in honor of Angela W. Williams, former director of 91ÁÔÆæ’s Writing Center and Lacy’s English teacher who provided guidance that lasted well beyond his time on campus.
The 91ÁÔÆæ Success Center has been an educational cornerstone since its inception in the fall of 1984, when it began as the Writing Center offering cadets tutorials and guidance to improve their writing skills. Today, it offers a wide range of educational resources involving learning strategies across the entire college, including tutors in many subject areas with a writing-across-the-curriculum mindset.
