Because of you, Florida Atlantic is enriching and enhancing programs for the community.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are creating opportunities for students, faculty and our community that have far-reaching impacts for this generation and beyond. Through the Transcend Tomorrow campaign, we opened new doors for learning, connection and athletics.
We built the Gruber AI Sandbox as a hub for artificial intelligence development and research, developed the Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies Building to foster Holocaust education and remembrance, and celebrated the Men’s Basketball Final Four debut.
And these are just a few of the many initiatives possible through the Transcend Tomorrow campaign. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue building on the incredible momentum you helped create.
Our donors, in their own words
Every gift tells a story. These are the moments, memories and motivations behind them.
Featured Story
The Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Holocaust and Jewish Studies Building is developing into an epicenter for Holocaust and Jewish studies, while also memorializing the six million Jews and other victims, as well as survivors, of the Holocaust and other genocides. Since the Wallach’s initial gift, which also established the Wallach Institute for Holocaust and Jewish Studies, philanthropic support has continued from the community during the Transcend Tomorrow campaign, further cementing the building’s significance as a leading educational and community resource in South Florida and beyond.
A significant gift from Craig and Barbara Weiner is creating the Craig and Barbara Weiner Holocaust Museum of South Florida at Florida Atlantic University, which will be housed in the Wallach building. Victims and survivors of the Armenian genocide will be remembered on a special plaque within the Marta and Jim Batmasian Memorial Pavilion, named in recognition of a gift from the Batmasians.
Arthur Gutterman, who previously established the Arthur and Emalie Gutterman Family Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education, made additional gifts to provide general support for the building and programs it will house. An endowment from the Davidowitz family is expanding the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Program for K-12 educators in South Florida.
The Wallach building’s lobby will be known as the Marilyn and Jay Weinberg Grand Lobby in recognition of the Weinberg’s gifts, which include enhancing the interior of the building and creating an endowment to support faculty, equipment, staff, programming, students and ongoing care of the building in perpetuity.
