Hanson, founder of Stuart Hall stationery company, has donated $2 million to the University of Kansas to be used for teaching awards, professorships and the Small Business Development Center. By Allison Lopez Special to the Kansan The Kansas City, Mo., businessman allocated the money to the University through a charitable remainder trust valued at $2 million. The interest on the trust will provide a lifelong income for Hanson's daughter, Karolyn Hanson Schmidt, and the entire donation will pass to the KU Endowment Association after her death. Eighty percent of the endowment will be used to establish teaching awards and professorships for the School of Business. "Rewarding school faculty for excellence and further study is one way of reaching the level of leadership necessary for the KU business school to The remaining 20 percent of the endowment will establish the Charles G. Hanson Small Business Development Fund and will provide unrestricted support for the Small Business Development Center. attain its maximum potential," Hanson said in a written statement. "The support of the Small Business Development Center will help not only students but also the economic development of the region," said L. Joseph Bauman, dean of business administration, in a written statement. The KU Small Business Development Center assists small-business owners in six Kansas counties by providing free consultation, business plans and marketing strategies. The center sponsors seminars and lends reference materials to help small-business owners make their companies more successful. Mike O'Donnell, director of the KU Small Business Development Center, said the center is one of a network of about 700 centers across the country and one of 10 in Kansas. Although the University of Kansas is the largest Kansas affiliate, it is the second-least funded center in the state, he said. "This is really exciting," O'Donnell said. "This is the first time we've had anyone endow any money to us." Although Hanson is not a KU alumus, his family has developed a strong relationship with KU. Two of his three children and two of his grandchildren are KU graduates. Hanson is a life member of the Chancellor's Club, KU's major-donor organization. In 1992, when Hanson sold Stuart Hall to the Newell Corporation, the company was producing annual sales of nearly $140 million and employed more than 450 people nationwide. Hanson started Stuart Hall as a small business that sold stationery during the Christmas holidays. From a $200 loan the business expanded into a multi-million dollar corporation. Corbin renovations nearing completion By Matt Hydeman Kansan staff writer When residents move into Corbin Residence Hall this fall, they will notice elements added to the hall. New windows, a new roof and a renovated first floor are a few of the things slated for the hall's renovation, which began June 5th, said Russ Durkin, superintendent for RMT Construction of Olathe. Durkin said that in addition to adding new windows and a roof, workers were also tuck-pointing much of the masonry of the building. Tuck-pointing is removing old mortar from between bricks and adding new mortar to strengthen the brickwork. "It helps to clean the brick as well," he said. There are also plans to extend the stairwell on the north side of the south part of the building to connect the third and fourth floors, Durkin said. Some of the changes for Corbin were to ensure the hall met state fire codes and to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. The first floor of Corbin's south wing is also being renovated to be accessible to those with disabilities. Ken Stoner, director of the department of Student Housing, said that the adaptive living wing will have wider doors to allow for wheelchair access, roll-in showers, wheelchair-accessible sinks and an exit set at ground level. Although the initial plans called for much of the work to be completed by the time students are scheduled to return, Durkin said that delays and changes in the original plans have forced the construction company off schedule. "We're trying to get out of everyone's way," he said. "We're hoping to be on the back part of the building soon." Fred McElhenie, associate director for the Department of Student Housing, said he believed the construction crew would be finishing their work soon. "We anticipate construction being done before the students move in," he said.
