The Ferris State University Board of Trustees has voted to rename the University Center building the David L. Eisler Center in honor of current President David L. Eisler, who is retiring after more than 19 years with the university.

Eisler first started as the 18th Ferris State University President in July 2003, and will be finishing his presidency today.

He championed university philanthropic efforts, including a comprehensive campaign that went beyond its initial goal of $80 million and raised more than $125 million.
