Heritage Committee Highlight:

The groundbreaking for the Dallas Floyd Gymnasium in August 1991 marked a transformative moment for Cumberland University. Through the generosity of the Floyd and Baxter families, this gift not only made construction of the gym possible but also endowed a scholarship that continues to support students today. Their commitment to Cumberland and the community reflects the enduring legacy of the Phoenix Ball.
