It was announced on October 19, 2007, that Covenant College’s newly opened residence hall has been named The Lowell and Nadine Andreas Residence Hall.

Mr. Lowell Andreas, along with his late wife, Nadine, has been one of the most significant supporters of Covenant College.

Lowell first learned of Covenant from former President Frank Brock, now president of the Covenant College Foundation. Upon discovering that Covenant is a college in the Reformed tradition with a rigorous academic program that equips students as logical, principled, and thoughtful individuals, Lowell invested generously.

His gifts — and the gifts of so many Covenant College supporters — enable the College to advance its mission by investing in turn in the lives of students.
