SOUTH BEND — The University of Notre Dame has received a $10 million gift from the Marilyn and Rudolph M. Navari Charitable Trust for the Hesburgh Libraries.
The main Hesburgh Library is in the midst of a major renovation. The gift will be used in part to fund renovation of the future home for the Navari Family Center for Digital Scholarship in that building, as well as to establish an endowment to support digital library services and research projects related to the center, the university announced Friday.
Dr. Rudolph Navari earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 1966 from Notre Dame, his master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Virginia, and his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia. He is an oncologist and cancer researcher.
