Cruised by it sunday after the UMass game.  Looks elite just like everything else at KSU

If anyone's interested, I can def. get some super elite behind the scenes photobucket online tour packages set up when/before it opens for anyone interested.

Walk by it every day. Pretty big and it's coming along really quickly.

It's a pretty elite thing.  KSU is one of few universities that have it iirc.

i think you misunderstood. no doubt it's elite.

Actually it was built because they secured their own funding to build it.  There are majors within the bldg + grad students.

No, they didn't.

About 90% of the funds for this project came from Warren Staley, former CEO of Cargill. It was his wish that it went to the Leadership Studies minor.

I don't think you have a very strong grasp of the term "secure funds"

E2P is right.  Technically speaking, unless the money was raised through Cargill car washes and bake sales, those funds were not secured.

i guess you're right, if you believe 'securing their own funding' means stumbling upon a financial gift that you have no business getting.

two diff definitions, i guess.
