Project Updates
‘Crowell School of Business’
Building Opens for Business
It’s beautiful — and it’s almost ready! Thanks to
the support of many generous Biola friends, the
funding for the new business building is complete.
Construction is also almost finished, and
the ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony is
scheduled for April 27.
The $12.5 million facility features 12 new
classrooms wired with technologically advanced
capabilities, ensuring excellent academic preparation
for students. The building also houses a faculty
office complex and café. The first classes will
meet in the building on April 16.
Special appreciation goes to the many donors
who gave sacrificially to make this dream a reality,
allowing the Crowell School of Business to equip
tomorrow’s business leaders with minds for business
and hearts for the world.

Conservatory of Music Receives
Two New Steinway Pianos
Two beautiful new Steinway pianos are now
resident in the Conservatory of Music, thanks to
donations, large and small, to the Steinway Fund
project. The purchase of one of the pianos was
made possible with significant gifts from John and
Katie Withers and Don and Jo Bishop.
The Withers are the parents of graduating
senior Carolyn Withers, a vocal performance
major. They were moved to give in response to
their daughter’s growth in her faith and music
during her time at Biola. The Bishops are longtime
friends of Biola, and their equally significant
contribution completed the Steinway Fund goal.
Dr. George Boespflug, chair of the Conservatory of
Music, applauded the many supporters who made
the pianos possible saying, “We are blessed to have
a supportive constituency that values the work of
our faculty, staff and students … and is willing to
express that support in very tangible ways.”
