The Saint Paul's
College campus in Lawrenceville is for sale in hopes it can continue to
educate young black men and women in Southern Virginia. President
Millard Stith, Jr. says that the college's goal is to find another
college or university that will take over Saint Paul's as an educational
institution.
In order to
present the school in the best possible light for potential partners,
funding is needed to keep the property and its 35 buildings maintained
until July 1, 2014. The campus includes dormitories, a president's house
and other residences, administration buildings, a Victorian house that
served as an arts center, and a student center. Some of the brick
buildings were constructed by students.
Saint Paul's
alumni have responded to this call for help, and the Department of
Education is also providing some funding for this purpose. If you would
like to contribute to the Saint Paul's College transition, gifts may be
sent to: Saint Paul's College 115 College Drive, Lawrenceville, Virginia
23868.
