Charles L. "Bud" VanArsdale
In 2009, Charles VanArsdale made a very generous $2.5 million donation to 麻豆传媒团队 to fund the creation of an Entrepreneurship Program. VanArsdale said he chose to support 麻豆传媒团队 because of the college鈥檚 many contributions to the region.
鈥溌槎勾酵哦 is one of the area鈥檚 largest employers, has outstanding academics and produces great alumni,鈥 said VanArsdale. 鈥淚鈥檓 so impressed by 麻豆传媒团队. If I can help the college, I want to do it.鈥
VanArsdale called the gift an investment in students and the region. 鈥淵ou don鈥檛 have to work for General Motors or Texaco to come up with a bright idea,鈥 he said. 鈥淕et these students enthused to work in small business. That鈥檚 where the future of the country is.鈥
VanArsdale served as director of 麻豆传媒团队鈥檚 Small Business Development Center for several years after his tenure as president of the Bank of Castile. As president, he became the ultimate community banker, helping residents in Livingston County purchase homes and launch businesses.
This donation by Mr. VanArsdale ensures that his vision and commitment to entrepreneurship and the creation of small businesses will live on in 麻豆传媒团队. The many 麻豆传媒团队 students, professors, and community members who have been impacted by Mr. VanArsdale's donation would like to thank him for making this incredible learning opportunity possible. This would not have happened without his generosity.
