The Freed Center for Leadership and Service will be a bustling source of pride for the entire Vanguard community that will deepen school spirit for all Lions. It will be a place where students, alumni, faculty and staff, and the local community will gather in camaraderie during sports games, chapels, worship gatherings and campus events.
You are invited to take an exclusive hardhat tour of the building as it takes its final shape as the new home to VU Athletics and the Kinesiology program.
“One of our desires is to build excellent facilities that match the excellent student experience.”

Support the Imagine Campaign
Faculty and staff who wish to support Imagine with a gift of $500 or more will be named on the Freed Center’s donor wall and receive a piece of The Pit floor. Employees can make a gift via cash, check, or a credit/debit card transaction. Employees can also support Imagine via payroll deduction (For example, signing up for a payroll deduction of $6.95 per paycheck for three years will equal $500)
