Two $1 million gifts announced at CU President's Club dinner Dr. E. Bruce Heilman, a 1949 alumnus of Campbellsville University, World War II veteran and now the Chancellor at University of Richmond, was the keynote speaker and announced a $1 million gift to his alma mater. This lead gift launched the public phase of the "Our Time, This Place" capital campaign and that gift was matched by an unnamed donor for a total of $2 million. The building itself is to cost an estimated $5 million and almost half of that was raised in one night. During the silent phase (2011-2015), the university has raised over $45 million and is close to its $61 million goal that will help not only athletics but also campus wide. Read Dr. Heilman's speech: Striking While the Iron is Hot By Jordan Alves, Sports Information Director Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - After attending two schools his first three years in college, Jacob Russell has finally found a home at Campbellsville University. The Fighting Tiger football player has rewritten the record books in every offensive statistical category for a quarterback, but the one stat that isn't tallied on that scoreboard - servant leadership. Russell was recognized on Monday night for his dedication and commitment to athletics, academics and also leadership inside the university and the community. Along with two other students -- Tori Hester (Henderson, KY) and Logan Curtis (Lawrenceburg, KY) -- Russell was recognized at the 36th Annual President's Club dinner, which hosts donors who give more than $1,000 annually to the university. The three students all received the Student Leadership Award, which was handed out by President Dr. Michael V. Carter and Dr. E. Bruce Heilman. Russell, who had his entire family present for the ceremony, led Campbellsville to a 2014 Mid-South Conference championship - the first since 1997. The Tigers are on the cusp of repeating and all that lies ahead is knocking off two Top 10 programs in their final regular season games. But what stood out to the administration and coaches at Campbellsville University is, that even though Russell is the most decorated quarterback to dawn the maroon and gray, he is also the most humble. "Jacob is very deserving of this award," said coach Perry Thomas. "He carries himself with character and dignity on and off the field. He is very active with Fellowship of Christian Athletes on campus and is involved with community leadership. Jacob went on a mission trip to Florida last spring with many of the football players and coaches and is now leading by example, on the field, in the classroom and in the community." "Jacob is an exemplary young man," said Carter. "We appreciate his dedication to not only athletics but also academics and servant leadership. He is humble and a hardworking young man that is chasing a dream. We pray for his future as God uses him for much good in our world." The President's Club dinner started with the recognition of the students but also those four individuals helped in the revealing of Campbellsville's newest project - the E. Bruce Heilman Student Center. Dr. E. Bruce Heilman, a 1949 alumnus of Campbellsville University, World War II veteran and now the Chancellor at University of Richmond, was the keynote speaker and announced a $1 million gift to his alma mater. This lead gift launched the public phase of the "Our Time, This Place" capital campaign and that gift was matched by an unnamed donor for a total of $2 million. The building itself is to cost an estimated $5 million and almost half of that was raised in one night. During the silent phase (2011-2015), the university has raised over $45 million and is close to its $61 million goal that will help not only athletics but also campus wide. "Tonight was a huge honor," said Russell. "Not only to be recognized, but to be a part of an amazing night where we saw two $1 million checks be written. I am honored to be a Fighting Tiger because a night like this will change Campbellsville University for many years to come." "Campbellsville gave us both a good foundation, it was a launching pad, worth all we are giving and more," said Heilman about he and his late wife Betty. "Had I not been given the chance here, I likely would not have attended college. "Yes I am designating a million dollars for all these reasons and for this new building which can be a visible expression of quality, style, functionality, and character for the whole campus and community."
