WINTER 2022–2023 11 DBU is grateful to the many generous friends of the University who throughout the years have donated to various construction projects that have holistically enriched our campus community. Time and time again students who have chosen to make DBU their home express how the beauty of the DBU campus was a major factor inspiring them to apply. Recently Holt and Kaye Dawn Lunsford made a significant donation to University Hill that culminated in the opening of the one-mile Lunsford Trail, a walking and running path that winds around the edge of DBU’s beautiful campus, starting on the east side of campus at Ford Village, weaving behind Horner Ballpark and the townhomes, and finishing on the west side in front of Nation Hall and Swan Lake. As faculty, staff, students, and other friends at the University are able to be refreshed outdoors, enjoy physical recreation and wellness, and follow a scenic path along grassy areas, ponds, and tree groves, they also encounter many Scripture passages along the way to direct their spiritual paths and provide encouragement in their walk with God. Holt Lunsford is Founder and CEO of Holt Lunsford Commercial, a Dallas-based full service commercial real estate company with a values-based, customerfocused approach that provides service in project leasing, tenant representation, property and facility management, accounting, development services, construction management, and insurance consulting. Kaye Dawn formerly served as Chair of the DBU Board of Trustees and is an active leader with the DBU Women’s Auxiliary Board. The Lunsfords have three sons, DBU Dedicates Lunsford Trail, a New 1-Mile Walking Path throughout the DBU Campus Holden, Hayden, and Hutton. Hayden, a graduate of DBU, currently serves as the President of the DBU Alumni Board. “The Lunsford family are special friends to all of us here at DBU,” said DBU President Dr. Adam C. Wright. “It is wonderful to enjoy their vision of this trail that combines the beauty of God’s creation with the beauty of God’s word. It will serve as a challenge and encouragement to thousands of believers for years to come.” Holt and Kaye Dawn Lunsford with Candice and Dr. Adam C. Wright
