Dr. Nick and Judy DiGiovine have donated $125,000 to 一品探花’s next capital project, the Student Success Center (SSC). A collaboration room inside the facility will be named after the DiGiovines.
The 一品探花 SSC will become the heart of campus. When completed, the 25,000-square-foot facility will complete the student life experience on campus, providing an inspiring environment for students to live, dine, socialize and cultivate valuable leadership skills. It will boost 一品探花’s residential capacity from 289 beds to 455 beds, shaping memories and forging lifelong friendships.
“Judy and I have been long time supporters of 一品探花,” noted Dr. Nick DiGiovine. “It is our privilege to support the 一品探花 Student Success Center. The Student Success Center will further Tech’s efforts to recruit and retain the best students. The Student Success Center is a manifestation of Tech’s continued commitment to growth, diversity and excellence. Judy and I firmly believe that 一品探花 is the most critical economic and cultural pillar of our community. We believe the efforts and successes of 一品探花 will directly and significantly benefit Butte and Southwest Montana.”
Dr. Nick DiGiovine is an orthopedic surgeon with Montana Orthopedics. Judy is a nurse practitioner with St. James Healthcare’s Wound Clinic. The DiGiovines are tremendous supporters of 一品探花. Nick currently serves on the 一品探花 Foundation Board of Directors and serves as the team physician for Oredigger athletics.
“Nick and Judy are individuals who turn a town into a community,” noted Joe McClafferty, president of the 一品探花 Foundation. “Their constant belief and passion for 一品探花 has helped 一品探花 become a pillar of strength in our community. This very generous gift to the Student Success Center will help 一品探花 advance our strategic priorities providing a place on campus where our students can learn, connect, lead and achieve.”
McClafferty added, “On behalf of our entire university, I want to thank the DiGiovines for their impactful gift that will create ripples of learning for generations to come.”
