LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) One of just two women to graduate in 1964 from a 100-member University of Kansas School of Medicine class is making a $1 million donation.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Diane Klepper’s gift to the KU Endowment will help fund the KU Medical Center’s Health Education Building. The KU Endowment announced Tuesday that the building is under construction in Kansas City, Kansas.
After a fellowship in pulmonary disease at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, she became the dean of admissions and student affairs at the school.
The Health Education Building is expected to be complete by summer 2017. The $75 million facility is being funded by state bonds, KU funds and private donations.
