The Beeghly family has been in the Mahoning Valley since 1918 and
has made its mark on the business and philanthropic life locally
and throughout the country. This is nowhere more evident than in
teacher, counselor, and administrator education. The construction
of Beeghly Hall, home of the Beeghly College of Education, represents
a partnership of private support from the Beeghly family and state
funding.
Bruce R. Beeghly, a former member of the Youngstown State University
Board of Trustees, is president of Altronic, Inc., a designer and
manufacturer of electronic products sold worldwide. Mr. Beeghly has
served, and continues to serve, K-16 education in
numerous ways. He was elected to two terms on the Liberty Local
Board of Education. He is a past trustee of the Youngstown State
University Foundation and also served as a member of the Ohio Board
of Regents Higher Education Funding Commission. He was appointed
by Governor Taft to the Ohio Board of Regents in 2002.
Mr. Beeghly, as a member of the YSU Board of Trustees, demonstrated
a keen, personal interest in the building from its planning stages
to the end of construction. He continued to share his family's vision
that YSU, with a new up-to-date teacher education facility, would
become a focal point for educational development throughout the
region.
The building was dedicated on October 15, 1998 and Mr. Beeghly
spoke at the ceremony on behalf of all the Beeghly Family Donors.
The complete donor list appears on a plaque located in the atrium
entrance to the building and is reproduced below.
