[January 28, 2008]
Lincoln
College is expressing thanks for a recent gift by the Burwell
Family. The gift was a property on Keokuk Street, formerly the Pizza
Hut building, which was formerly owned by the Burwell Family of
Lincoln.

Lincoln College President John
Hutchinson said he was elated about the donation. "The institution
is deeply grateful for the generosity of the Burwell Family. Lincoln
College continues to grow and offer additional educational programs,
and along with those opportunities the need of extra space
increases. We are extremely grateful to the entire Burwell family
for their donation," said Hutchinson. Plans for the building are
unclear at this time; however, according to Hutchinson, the
unrestricted gift could be used for a new medical program if
enrollment numbers are reached.
Gene Burwell and his family, who owned the building, said they
are happy to support the college. "We felt it was something we could
do to contribute to the new medical program being offered by Lincoln
College. It has potential, and we all thought it was the right thing
to do," said Burwell.
Lincoln College had used the building in the past as a student
activities area called SubZero. The venue was a place where students
gathered for dancing in a nonalcohol environment.
