On Friday, Oct. 2, Ashland University will celebrate the new modern amenities and refreshed gathering spaces of its residence halls during a special dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The University will also honor longtime benefactors Dwight and Martha Schar with the dedication of Schar Plaza outside the main entrance of Amstutz Hall.
Dwight Schar, an Ohio native, 1964 Ashland graduate and founder of Fortune 500 homebuilder NVR, Inc., and his wife, Martha, provided the $20 million gift that made the residence hall renovations possible — the latest in $60 million in philanthropic support they have provided to Ashland University.
