Guidance and Generosity
The board room on the third floor of Rauch Administration Center has been named for former trustee David Weener ’72 and his wife, Elayne. The honor recognizes Mr. Weener's board service and the couple’s longtime philanthropic support of the university.
“For years to come, important decisions to guide the future of Bentley University will be made in the Weener Board Room,” says President Alison Davis-Blake. “I can't think of a more appropriate way to honor the legacy that David leaves behind.”
The alumnus began helping to guide and govern Bentley as a trustee in 1996. He served on numerous committees and as vice chair, working to ensure that the university was financially stable and ethically run. During that time, he and his wife established an endowed scholarship in their name and became Great Benefactors — a designation for those whose support of Bentley totals $1 million or more.
“For so long, David and Elayne's contributions have made certain that others would have the opportunity to receive a Bentley education,” adds Davis-Blake. “Their generosity has opened doors for so many deserving students.”
