Scholarship donors, recipients honored
President Trible presents a gift of appreciation to Dr. Sarah E. Forbes for her $1 million gift to CNU's Endowed Merit Scholarship Challenge.
 The new David Student Union Ballroom provided an inspirational environment for the 300 guests at the 15th Annual Donor and Recipient Scholarship luncheon on Nov. 8. The luncheon allowed alumni, family, and friends to reconnect with the University and learn about the lives of CNU scholars. The University remains grateful for donor support. Privately funded scholarships allow CNU to welcome all qualified applicants – regardless of their financial situation.
