Northwestern Scholars celebrate new home

Scholarship House Dedication Ceremony
Evans Scholars, Alumni, Director and friends of the Program gathered at 721 University Place on Sunday, Oct. 10, to formally dedicate the newly renovated Northwestern Evans Scholarship House. The event featured speeches by Northwestern University President Dr. Morton Schapiro, WGA Chairman Roger Mohr and Northwestern Evans Alum Tim Schwertfeger. The Northwestern marching band entertained guests before the ceremony.
"Today our Northwestern Scholarship House once again can be held up as an example of the best that group living has to offer," said Chairman Mohr. "With this restoration and expansion, all of our Northwestern Scholars - men and women - are now experiencing the values and commitment to community that group living inspires."
The Futures on Course campaign has been the most successful in the history of the Evans Scholars Foundation, raising nearly $6 million. Contributions still are being accepted.
The campaign committee co-chairmen were Bob Creamer, Jim Reilly and Tim Schwertfeger, and the committee directors were Jim Boudreau, Keith Dronen and John Murphy.

The Alpha Chapter
In 1930, two caddies enrolled in Northwestern. It was here where the first Evans Scholarship House opened a decade later.
Today 40 Scholars live in the House that bears Chick's name. We laid the foundation in 1940. Now we're raising the roof on the future.

House Under Construction
More than 600 Scholars have lived in the House over the years. We have not done much with the building since the 1980s, and it lacked many features needed to best serve our Scholars now and in the future.
Construction on the House began in August 2009.

Scholarship House Renovation
The new House has additional living space for eight more Scholars, expanded community areas, separate male and female bathrooms on sleeping room floors and full accessibility for all Scholars.
The building was officially dedicated on October 10, 2010, with guest speakers, House tours and lunch.
