In the mid-1960s, they found themselves back at “The Ranch,” now as California Lutheran College students. They attended classes together, led cheers together and graduated together, Class of 1970. Three decades later, together and with members of their families, Karen and Allan helped fund the Spies- Bornemann Center for Education and Technology that opened in fall 2002. Today, they continue to support CLU – together as members of the Orville Dahl Society and separately. Karen is Chair of the Board of Regents, and Allan is a regular guest lecturer in graduate business classes. “We want to continue the tradition of Christian higher education. We are amazed at CLU’s growth in the past decade during which time the University has broken ground or dedicated a new facility each year. Increased growth in endowment and scholarships enables CLU to continue to hire highly qualified professors, attract students with high GPAs and test scores, improve programs, and increase the number of degrees we offer.
