Late Family of Philanthropist and King’s Alumnus Honored in New Healthcare Education Facility

Louis Levi ’62, of York, Pa., made a generous $500,000 gift to King’s College to honor his late wife, son, and brother, whose names now adorn the main floor of the College’s new state-of-the-art healthcare education facility.

The now named Levi First Floor of the Frank and Carolyn Kowalski Center for Advanced Healthcare Education houses the facility’s welcome and recreational spaces, as well as its daily living and pediatric labs, augmented reality technology, and 3D printing services.

 Levi dedicated the gift to the memory of his wife, Michalene; son, Louis; and brother, Henry; all of whom passed away over the last four years.

Levi grew up in Nanticoke, Pa. and attended King’s College as a major in business administration. He later worked as the owner of Triangle Printing Company for decades before he retired in 2018.

“I am so grateful for all that King’s has done for me,” said Levi. “My time at King’s taught me to respect people for what they know. That understanding helped me build a team of talented individuals who were crucial to the success of my business.”

 Levi has supported the College throughout his life, including contributions to the restoration efforts at the Chapel of Christ the King and the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center, as well as the KC Fund. He also made a major gift in the early 2000s to establish the space that is now the King’s College radio station, WRKC.

“We extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Levi for his remarkable generosity,” said Greg Morgan, vice president for Institutional Advancement “This gift, along with over 30 years of steadfast support for the College, reflects his unwavering commitment to help transform the hearts and minds of our students through the mission of King’s College.”

The Kowalski Center is a more than $8 million redevelopment project of the former Times Leader building that includes 60,000 square feet of renovated space and five floors of state-of-the-art labs and education resources. The facility is home to the College’s Doctorate in Occupational Therapy program—the first doctorate program in the institution’s history—and its new accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program.
