SALISBURY — Livingstone College has 8 million more reasons to be grateful as students begin classes this week. Dr. Anthony J. Davis Jr., the 13th president of Livingstone College, announced that the college had received an additional $8 million donation from its anonymous donor.
Last month, the college received an unprecedented $10 million donation, the largest in the institution’s history. At present, the anonymous donor has gifted the college $25 million over the past nine months. This funding will be used for the continuation of the ‘Miracle on Monroe Street: Livingstone College Reimagined’ infrastructure and capital projects.
As students returned to campus, they were welcomed to a newly updated dining facility. The facility, which features new flooring, has also increased in capacity, providing students with a better dining experience. Renovations are still underway for Tucker and Dancy residence halls, expected to be completed by fall 2025. Phase 2 of the dining hall renovations will begin in the spring as well as renovations to Tucker and Babcock halls.
Davis encourages community members to continue supporting Livingstone College and its students as it works towards becoming the premier private HBCU in North Carolina. The first home game at Alumni Stadium will be Aug. 31 against the University of Charleston.
