Southern students, employees, donors, and community members joined together in February to dedicate land for a new building to house the School of Business. The group formed a large circle around the future facility’s location and prayed together over the land.
“We’re very grateful that many have stepped up with their donations, time, and energies to make this project possible,” said Franklin Farrow, a local business owner and chairman of the fundraising campaign for the School of Business. “Southern is in the business of changing and equipping hearts, and as we take on this challenge of creating a new building, let’s remember that it’s more than bricks and mortar. It is a place that will shape characters for generations to come.”
The School of Business is the second largest academic area on the University’s campus, with a 10% increase in its enrollment over the last five years. At approximately 42,000 square feet, the new building will include a large, multipurpose auditorium, and its investment lab will feature 12 Bloomberg Financial Terminals — computer software systems on which students can analyze real-time financial market data.
“God has anointed our students to be Kingdom builders in the marketplace,” said Stephanie Sheehan, Ph.D., dean of the School of Business. “He has called and will continue to call many students here, and we are thankful they will soon have a new facility to call home.”
