And even though Eastern contin-
uestopreserveit'shistoricbeautyand
tradition, EKU isalso going the extra
mile to keep up with the demands of
today and tomorrow. 1991 saw the
completionofastate-of-the-art facili-
ty, the Donald R. Dizney Building,to
house the expanding College of Al-
lied Health and Nursing. Also, an
expansion of the library, renovation
of the Roark Building and develop-
ment of a new law enforcement
building all began because of East-
ern's commitment to excellence.
Also, in 1991, EKU received ap-
proval fora4-yearaviation program,
the only one of its kind in Kentucky
Plus, Eastern received a $1.1 million
gift of computer equipment from

But even more important than
buildings, grants or programs, East-
ern'sstudentsandfacultycontinueto
go the extra mile in learning, partici-
pating and \olunteering. Whether it
be in a classroom, during a sports
competition, or while working to
help a needy person, EKU students
excel. For example, in 1991, o\er
2,000 students made the Dean's List
for having outstanding grade point
a\erages. Plus, students continue to
go the extra mile to help the commu-
nity's less fortunate through \olun-
teerism. Whether it be participating r
in United Way or other philanthropy
fundraisers, helping needy families

rebuild and repair homes in Appala-
chian regions, or making phone calls
during EKU's phon-a-thon to raise
money for scholarships, EKU stu-
dents make a positi\e difference in
the campus and the communit\.
The students, faculty, tradition of
excellence, an—d quest for continued
improvement alloftheseelements
go the extra mile to make education
at Eastern Kentucky Universit\- an
