Salisbury, NC | To most of the nation, February is widely recognized as Black History Month, where the achievements of black excellence are remembered and celebrated throughout. This February is especially significant for Livingstone College as it commemorated its 145th Founder's Day in honor of its founder and first president, Dr. Joseph Charles Price.
During the celebration, Dr. Anthony J. Davis, the 13th president of the college, announced that the college had received a second $1 million gift from an anonymous donor. This community member had previously given the same amount four months earlier, which was the largest individual outright contribution ever made to the college. "Receiving two $1 million contributions from an anonymous donor is transformative for Livingstone College and will continue to impact the ongoing work being executed on the campus," Dr. Davis shared after the program.
“This second unrestricted contribution of this nature speaks to this community's confidence in the leadership of my presidency and this administration, and for that, we are grateful.” In addition to this news, Dr. Davis also announced that three residence halls on campus would be renovated and opened by July 2024. Livingstone College’s Board of Trustees also approved a $7 million investment plan to renovate Aggrey Cafeteria.
