Cook executive Steve Ferguson and his wife Connie are giving a $1 million donation to kick-start Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵios’s expansion fund. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵios officials made the announcement this afternoon at the Bloomington campus.
The main academic building on the campus will now bear the Fergusons’ name. The Fergusons say they’ve contributed to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵios for many years but they want to make this gift because they believe so strongly in the value of a quality education.
