PAGE 8 THE DALLAS POST Sunday, September 2, 2012 MacDowell Hall at Misericordia officially dedicated ¢ ‘May MacDowell Hall be appreciated by future students who will consider it their home while here at Misericordia. May it always grace this university that The Misericordia University community officially dedicated Michael and Tina MacDowell Hall, the newest building on cam- pus on Aug. 23 to acknowledge the significant leadership and ac- complishments of the president and the first lady. “To put our name on this lovely new residence hall and classroom building is more than an honor —- it is the nicest gift we have ever received,” President MacDowell said with his wife, Tina, by his side at the dedication ceremony. “However, it is hardly ours’ alone. If all the names of everyone who has worked so hard and strived to make Misericordia what it is to- day were placed on the facade of this building, it would need to be 12 stories high.” “In Spanish, one welcomes an- other to their home by saying, ‘Mi casa es su casa’ — my home is your home,” said the first lady, Ti- na MacDowell. “May MacDowell Hall be appreciated by future stu- dents who will consider it their home while here at Misericordia. May it always grace this universi- ty that we hold so dear to our hearts.” President and Mrs. MacDowell announced in April they will re- tire June 30, 2013 after serving 15 years. Two months after their for- mal announcement, the board of trustees expressed its gratitude for the couple’s leadership by naming the new building in their honor. MacDowell Hall is being made possible by a $1 million pledge to the university by the board, according to John Metz, chair of the Misericordia Univer- sity Board of Trustees. “Mike and Tina, on this very special day, we recognize your steadfast commitment to Miser- icordia University, its students, faculty, alumni and the communi- ty-at-large,” Metz said in his wel- come address. “Your contribu- aul First Lady Tina MacDowell shares her heartfelt thanks during the dedication ceremonies of the Michael and Tina MacDowell Hall on the campus of Misericordia University. tions have been nothing short of extraordinary. You have provided unparalleled leadership to the university and challenged the board of trustees to do the same. It is for those reasons that the board felt it important to recog- nize your many contributionsina tangible way.” MacDowell Hall is a 37,000- square foot, three-story structure near the north gate of campus and across the parking lot from the Anderson Sports and Health Center. It adds 118 beds for stu- dent housing and three academic classrooms. The $6.2 million building provides suite-style resi- dence space with kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms and applianc- es. Each floor also contains laun- dry facilities and architecturally significant study lounges at the east end. The glass enclosures, otherwise known as “lanterns,” face McHale Hall and illuminate the sprawling green space of the upper campus at night. we hold so dear to our hearts.” Tina MacDowell Misericordia University first lady Shown at the dedication of Michael and Tina MacDowell Hall are, from left, Sandy Insalaco Sr., board of trustees; John Metz, chair, board of trustees; Tina MacDowell, Michael A.
