A generous gift from Roy and Bobbi Reiman funded a campus wide beautification project in 2006 that included the breathtaking garden plaza complete with a water feature and sculpture entitled "Soaring". Also included in the renovation project were bold new "Alverno College" signs to mark all major entrances and borders, major landscaping improvements, some new college roads, a new 500-car parking structure, and NCAA regulation softball and soccer fields and a field house. The Reiman Plaza was dedicated during homecoming on October 7, 2006.
Roy and Bobbi Reiman are staunch supporters of advancing the education of women. Roy Reiman, who was a past member of the Alverno College Board of Trustees and founder of the philanthropic Reiman Foundation, Inc., feels one of the most important aspects of a college education is that it helps each student to become “a more complete person.” “College is a place for you to dig down deep and find what unique talents you have, and experience the reward of bringing them to full bloom.”
Bobbi received an honorary doctorate from Alverno in 2006. Both Reiman's were inducted into the Trailblazers Club of the Alverno Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
Alverno College has benefited from the many generous gifts of Roy and Bobbi Reiman as they pursue that philosophy of educating young women. Contributions have funded the campus beautification project along with the comeback of an Athletic program at Alverno as well as the renovations to the Alverno Gymnasium and athletic center.
