In recognition of their generosity and service to 91大神猫先生千人斩, a Village Apartment building now bears the name of two of the University鈥檚 greatest supporters: Frank and Marisa Martire.
The naming of Martire Hall is just one way the University, President Tim Cost and the Board of Trustees have been able to thank the Martire Family for their continued support across campus. With more than $1 million contributed to the University, the Martires have supported 91大神猫先生千人斩鈥檚 Greatest Needs, the Brooks Rehabilitation College of Healthcare Sciences, Davis College of Business & Technology, the STEAM Institute and student scholarships.
President Tim Cost presented Frank and Marisa with a key to their newly-named hall at the dedication ceremony this spring.
鈥淭he students are at the center of everything we do,鈥� said Dean of Students Dr. Kristie
Gover.
鈥淚n Student Affairs, the investment in the student experience allows us to focus on
the learning and support that takes place outside the classroom. Over the past 10
years with the vision from President and Mrs. Cost, and support from generous donors
like Mr. and Mrs. Martire, we鈥檝e made significant accomplishments.鈥�
Frank Martire is a member of the Board of Trustees, currently serving as treasurer
of the Board and also chairs the board鈥檚 finance committee. He was elected to the
Board in 2017. Frank Martire is Executive Chairman of NCR Corporation, the world鈥檚
enterprise technology leader for restaurants, retailers and banks. Previously, Martire
was President and CEO of Jacksonville-based FIS. Prior to that, Martire served as
chairman of the board for Metavante Technologies, Inc. and as CEO for Metavante Corporation.
Prior to the dedication, the Board of Trustees took a tour of campus, focusing on newer additions including the Health Sciences Complex and recently-completed STEAM Institute, and heard from a group of students on their college experience.
鈥淲hat was most impactful, aside from all the technology we saw today, was the passion of the students and the faculty,鈥� Martire said at the dedication ceremony. 鈥淭hey were all so engaged with this University.鈥�
