hen plans were being developed for the new Rector Village, General Dynamics Corporation Chairman and CEO Nick Chabraja was a member of the DePauw Board of Trustees. Now he and his family, including all three of his children who attended DePauw, have made a naming gift for the seventh and last residence hall in the new concept for student living at DePauw. “While serving on the board of trustees, I was a member and chair of the Student Affairs Committee. One of the priorities of that committee was the living arrangements for students, and I walked through many of the residential units,” Chabraja said. “The concept of replacing a large dormitory with a cluster of smaller, attractive buildings is a good one for students. It’s a more modern concept.” All three of Nick and Eleanor Chabraja’s children chose to attend DePauw, and all three lived in the East Quad, which included Rector Hall. And all three married DePauw graduates. They are: Michael A. and Lindsey (Hart ’97) Chabraja ’89, David N. and Laura (Chabraja ’91) Keeler ’90, and Eric J. and Nicole (Chabraja ’97) Graham ’97. Michael Chabraja serves DePauw as a member of the Board of Visitors.
