Support Lake Campus
Since its inception the Lake Campus has been the fortunate recipient
of alumni, friends and corporate support. Our ability to continue to serve
the educational needs of Auglaize, Darke, Mercer and Van Wert counties,
as well as the residents of the surrounding areas, is a testament to the
generous nature of the residents and businesses who believe in the academic
mission of the Lake Campus.
The Western Ohio Educational Foundation (WOEF), thanks the community for its continued support. The WOEF board
operates under the auspices of a board of trustees whose members are respected
business and community men and women. Members share a common interest in
the Lake Campus’s academic programs, community service, success, and
most importantly, the students. This vision is realized through
the numerous scholarships made available
each year by the WOEF board.

Building the Future: The Lake Campus Capital Campaign
In February, the Lake Campus formally announced plans to renovate and improve the facilities at the campus. The lead contributors to the project were honored and a Capital Campaign officially began.
The James F. Dicke Family of New Bremen, Ohio, was recognized for providing a challenge gift of $2 million to the project. Katy Dicke, who serves on the Western Ohio Educational Foundation Board of Trustees, and her husband Jim, president of Crown Equipment Corporation, represented the James F. Dicke Family. Also recognized was Mr. Dennis Lee, representing Celina Aluminum Precision Technology (CAPT) of Celina, which provided $250,000 for the project.
The construction project includes adding a new science wing and Multipurpose Center, which will encompass approximately 12,200 square feet of new construction. 27,860 square feet of renovations to existing facilities are also slated to take place. The estimated cost of the project is $8 million. Of this amount, the Lake Campus Capital Campaign seeks $4 million.
