Donor Spotlight

Mark and Christina Turner P’15
In December 2011, the Library received an early holiday gift from first-time donors Mark and Christina Turner, who made a year-end gift through SU's online giving portal. When asked about their gift, Mark replied that they wanted to do something to honor their daughter, an SU freshman who had settled in very well here. In looking at the opportunities to designate their gift, they selected the SU Library. Both Mark and Christina have supported libraries throughout their children's lives and recognize the importance of a vibrant and healthy library as a part of any great academic environment. Mark and Christina designated their significant gift to the Dean's Discretionary Fund, enabling the Library to support a variety of needs of Syracuse University students.
