April 17, 2023 - Chico State Receives Transformational Gift to Support New College of Business Building

Dear Colleagues,

I’m thrilled to announce the College of Business has secured $5 million as a first commitment toward an ultimate $10 million gift dedicated to a new building to replace Glenn Hall. The incredible generosity of alumnus Jon E. Krabbenschmidt (Business Administration, ’76) is paving the way for us to inspire others to join our shared vision to construct a state-of-the-art facility that accommodates cutting-edge learning experiences, fosters the collaborative environments that are so critical for the field of business, and supports the centers that provide hands-on, real-world learning.
 
The design for a new Glenn Hall includes spaces for active, experiential, and immersive learning; conference breakout rooms; collaboration spaces; centers for excellence; and dedicated spaces for faculty research and signature programs. Through Jon’s generosity, our fundraising for this visionary building will now begin in earnest.
 
To learn more about Jon, his gift, and how it will transform tomorrow for the College of Business, please read the press release on Chico State Today(opens in new window).
 
Sincerely,
Gayle E. Hutchinson
