On Wednesday, as a part of his State Of The University address, Marquette University president Michael Lovell announced that the university has decided to name the newly under construction residence hall in honor of Rev. Robert A. Wild, S.J.
The naming honor comes along with the announcement of a fundraising challenge from Ray and Kay Eckstein. The prominent Marquette donors, who already have their name on the Marquette University Law School, have pledged $10 million in matching funds towards the new residence hall. Their gift will kick in once the university has raised $10 million for the building from other sources.
