Craig and Mary Stover-Fenneman have made a $5 million gift to their alma mater, Butler University, to help expand and renovate the university’s science complex. The commitment will also support the new Andre B. Lacy School of Business, the Craig Fenneman Endowed Scholarship and future university priorities. 

Craig Fenneman served as a Board of Trustees member, including chair, from 2011-2014. The couple’s gift to the university includes them with 11 other families in the Founders Circle, which is a group of donors who have committed $1 million or more to the project since 2016. The new building is scheduled to open in the fall.

“We are deeply grateful to Craig and Mary for their significant investment in the lives of our students,” says Butler President James Danko. “Butler University is experiencing an exciting era of growth, and this transformational commitment will fuel our vision for the future.”
