LWC dedicates Keefe Hall to honor former English professor 'President William T. Luckey Jr. said Keefe Hall that so beautifully positioned between two of Keefe's passions - humanities, which are headquartered in the college's W.W. Slider Humanities Center, and soccer, which is played at Walter S. Reuling Soccer Stadium. Keefe Hall is the first major LWC building in almost 50 years to be named in honor or memory of a faculty member Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Duane Bonifer News from Lindsey Wilson College COLUMBIA, KY - The legacy of one of Lindsey Wilson College's legendary professors was celebrated Friday morning at the dedication of a new residence hall. During the dedication of Keefe Hall, LWC colleagues recalled the contributions and impact the late English professor had during her tenure at the liberal arts college. Carolyn Keefe taught English from 1997-2009 at LWC, where she was known as a demanding professor who "put many young people on the path to effective, productive futures." Her former faculty colleague George Kolbenschlag said that Keefe was "an educator in a positive sense of the word." "She was not easy on her students, but I think most of them came to appreciate that she cared for them with a great passion," he said. "She put many young people on the path to effective, productive futures." Opened earlier this semester, Keefe Hall is a 9,200-square-foot, one-story residence hall located on Blue Raider Drive. The building, on the west side of LWC's A.P. White Campus, houses 46 female undergraduate students plus a resident director. The $1.2 million Keefe Hall was built in response to the college's growing residential student population, which has increased by more than 30 percent since 2009-10. A total of 1,100 students live this year in LWC residence halls. LWC student Haley Cook of Cawood, KY, said she is "very grateful to stay in this new dorm." "The facilities are just wonderful ... and it's just been a great experience so far. It's helped me to adjust to college and have a nice place to stay," said Cook, who is a pre-nursing major. RELATED STORY: Carolyn J. Keefe, 69, Adair County, KY (d. May 17, 2017) LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. said Keefe Hall is "so beautifully positioned" between two of Keefe's passions -- humanities, which are headquartered in the college's W.W. Slider Humanities Center, and soccer, which is played at Walter S. Reuling Soccer Stadium. Luckey said Keefe was "a beautiful spirited lady with a passion for life, with a passion for nature, humanity, and a passion for her students." Throughout her lifetime, Keefe quietly gave more than $523,000 to LWC. "I'm grateful that she thought of us in that kind of capacity," Luckey said. "But more importantly I think she gave everything that she had, not just financially. But day after day, year after year, she gave everything that she had to her students, and everything that she had to this college." Keefe Hall is the first major LWC building in almost 50 years to be named in honor or memory of a faculty member. Luckey said that in addition to honoring Keefe's service to the college, Keefe Hall "symbolically honors" all faculty who have "toiled, who have labored, who have dedicated their lives to this next generation of students here, at our beloved Lindsey Wilson College."
