12.8.06 IT'S BRENNAN'S PUB AND BISTRO
With the Dudley H. Davis Center continuing to take shape as what will be a signature facility for the campus, one of its most eagerly anticipated amenities has remained nameless — until now, that is.
Thanks to a generous gift from Robert '83 and Carolyn Brennan '82, generations of UVM students will come to know Brennan's Pub and Bistro as their favorite local hangout. "It's very exciting," says Rob of the couple's most recent gift. "We had seen the artist's rendering and liked it. We knew we wanted to do something to help with the student center, and besides, the name just kind of fits."
This is the second gift from the Brennans (no relation to UVM's recently retired coaching legend Tom Brennan) during the ongoing Campaign for the University of Vermont. Just a year ago, the couple established the Brennan Family Scholarship Fund to benefit students in the UVM Honors College. "We love the school, we want to see it prosper, and we're fortunate enough to be in a position to help," says Rob, who is Global Head of the Real Estate Finance Group at Credit Suisse in New York.
When Brennan's opens in the Davis Center next fall, students will have what they have so long said to be lacking on the UVM campus — a place to kick back into the wee hours, check out the live entertainment, grab a late-night snack, and enjoy each other's company in a relaxed and convivial setting.
