Drexel University’s School of Public Health has been renamed for Dana Dornsife and her husband, industrialist David Dornsife, in recognition of a $45 million donation, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. The gift, announced Wednesday, will support local projects in Philadelphia neighborhoods and broaden its international work in urban health.
Mr. Dornsife is chairman of Herrick Corporation, a steel-fabricating company. Ms. Dornsife, a 1983 Drexel graduate, co-founded Axiom Design, a lighting and interior-design firm. The couple donated $200 million in 2011 to the University of Southern California, Mr. Dornsife’s alma mater, and have now given $58 million to Drexel. The new gift arose from a 2013 tour they took with university President John A. Fry of a well-drilling project the couple funded in Ethiopia.
