 Keiser University S Residence Hall Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Unveils Plan For 100 Million Campus Expansion - News / Events

West Palm Beach, Florida – November 4 – Keiser University Chancellor, Dr. Arthur Keiser, was pleased to announce the unveiling of the new Lakeside Residence Hall.  The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held Wednesday, November 4th at the University’s Flagship campus located at 2600 N. Military Trail, West Palm Beach, 33409.

 

Kicking-off a $100 million capital campaign to further transform the campus into an international destination, the new student living facility demonstrates the University’s continued commitment to students and is made possible by a $10 million donation from Sodexo North America.

 

“Our goal has always been serving students first, and this is another reinvestment in maximizing their full collegiate experience. We are excited about the official grand opening of the new residence hall and very appreciative of our partnership with Sodexo North America and their generous donation,” said Chancellor Arthur Keiser, Ph.D., Keiser University. “The facility creates ‘a home away from home’ enriching student life and providing the convenience and comradery of learning and living on campus.”

 

The ceremony was part of Keiser University’s Homecoming Week activities. Socially distanced activities in which students were wearing masks included tie-dye, trivia, yard pong, spike ball, virtual scavenger hunts, and more.

 

The four-story, 51,000-square foot facility is located alongside the University’s lake between its Student Life Center and Dalby Commons buildings and offers double room suites, collaborative spaces for student meetings, and a lounge, lobby, laundry, and study areas that can accommodate up to 208 residents. Occupants enjoy a short walk to other campus amenities which include an outdoor swimming pool, sand volleyball, and tennis courts, an indoor fitness center, a dining hall, bookstore, and Starbucks.

“I am excited that the population of Keiser University’s Flagship campus continues to grow, as diversity is strengthened throughout the student body. The new facility will make residential life even more fulfilling as it offers additional spaces for student gatherings, study groups, and outdoor social events,” said Darius Charon a Keiser University Exercise Science major who also serves as a Resident Assistant.

My instructors believed in me. They were more than instructors, they tried to get to know you as a person and tried to understand your goals so they could push you towards them. Student services helped me find a job before I even graduated. Everyone was dedicated to my overall success.

Jessica Kircher

Going to Keiser University was one of the greatest experiences in my life. All of my deans, professors, and staff made me feel that I was a part of something very special, and I am. I would recommend for anyone to get their education at Keiser University.

Belinda Haney

The instructors at Keiser University impacted my life. They believed in my ability to become a great graphic designer, regardless of how I felt about my skills. KU helped to prepare me for the real world and got me to where I am today.

Justin Pugh

If not for my education at Keiser I probably would not be where I am today, in both life and career. It is because of going to Keiser and the instructors I had that I joined a club started by Mr. Williams, The Lakeland Shooters Photography Group, which allowed me to venture into an amazing and very creative field that I use to enhance all aspects of my life.

Anthony Sassano

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real world learning and hands on instruction… Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.

Ty Fitzgerald

The year and a half I spent in the program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field…As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me.

Carlos Ramirez Flores

Keiser University’s MBA program has renewed my mind, changed the way I think, and given me a new sense of purpose.  The professors transformed my attitude and behavior, gave me the self-confidence I was lacking, and restored my energy.

Connie Sue Centrella

It has been great attending and graduating from Keiser University.  Because of the small class sizes, I was able to build good relationships with classmates and professors.  The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.

Annelise Merriner, PA-C

Attending Keiser University and getting my degree was the best decision I have ever made.  The small class sizes and personalized attention helped me get my degree quickly.  The hands-on experience and the education landed me a job at a neighboring law firm.

Dedrick Saxon

I chose Keiser because it had everything—small classes, caring professors, hands-on learning, and counselors that are really there for you.  I feel like I’m part of a family here, not just a number.

Natalie Dou

After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education.  Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before.

Laurie Williams

Beyond the curriculum of the courses, the lessons the instructors have taught me have paid dividends in my real work experiences. How to respond to criticisms, project and time management, interview skills, the list goes on and on. At the end of the day, they not only showed me how to design, but they taught me how to be a professional.

Ryan Bushey

Keiser helped change my life by getting my education at the right school! I had been going to another school before, I dropped out because I felt that I was not getting enough information. When I found out about Keiser, I was pleased because the instructors were great.

Nadege Dor

My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I chose to enroll in the Information Technology program… The one-class-a-month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline.

Marla Hadley

The BA for Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the Associates level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge.

Vivian R. Howard, BA in Business Administration Graduate

I found that Keiser University’s Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn’t truly interested.
