From The News-Gazette:
The center, to be located next to the Family Resiliency Center on
Nevada Street in Urbana, already has received a $6 million "lead gift"
from Ron Chez, a 1962 UI graduate who is president of Chicago-based
Ronald L. Chez Inc., a financial management consulting firm, and also is
chairman of the board of EpiWorks, a semiconductor manufacturer in
Champaign.
No construction timetable has been established, said Tanya Gallagher, dean of the UI College of Applied Health Sciences.
The new center will provide comprehensive services for veterans with
disabilities who are enrolled on the Urbana campus, Gallagher said.
"This center will provide educationally integrated services to
student veterans of our most recent conflicts, and their families," she
said.
