Gifts to wellness programs are enriching the Sewanee experience and ensuring that students have the best quality experience on the Mountain. 

Karen Jenkins Phillips, C’83, and Mark “Moose” Phillips, C’83, have made a generous gift to the Wellness and Recreation Commons in memory of longtime football coach Horace Moore. The gift raises the total committed to the building project—a renovation and addition to the SUP store, currently the home of the University Bookstore, to a little over $10 million donated toward the $15 million goal.

Gifts from Nancy Parks and the Diocese of Upper South Carolina have added momentum to fundraising efforts to renew the School of Theology building. Gifts are now approaching $10 million. 

The Rev. Canon Fred Dettwiller has made a magnificent gift to the seminary on the project to relocate the School of Theology to central campus. His commitment to Sewanee and the church are much appreciated. 

Building a new Wellness and Recreation Commons on the site of the University Bookstore creates an opportunity for a new bookstore in the Village. A beautiful design will draw people to Sewanee for books, small concerts, book signings and readings. 

Lombard Puri, P’20 and Everett Puri, C’82, P’20, and a member of Sewanee’s Board of Regents, have made a gift to each of the pillars of the Stronger Truer Sewanee Campaign.
