SEGUIN – Texas Lutheran University recently received a $300,000 gift from alumna Carla Blumberg for its newest building. The university will name the physics lab and classroom of its new AT&T Science Facility for Blumberg’s late father, Dr. Roland K. Blumberg who was a geophysicist, inventor, banker and 1940s wildcatter.
Along with the financial contribution, Blumberg donated a seismograph that her father manufactured and other historical documents that will be on display in the new science facility on the TLU campus.
Blumberg, a native of Seguin and a 1971 graduate of Texas Lutheran University, lives in Duluth, Minn. where she owns a unique farm-to-table restaurant called At Sara’s Table Chester Creek Café.
Texas Lutheran’s AT&T Science Facility, now nearing completion, is a 10,000 square foot wing of the existing science building that will add state-of-the-art chemistry, biology and physics laboratories, preparation rooms, faculty offices, research areas, and a greenhouse.
Texas Lutheran University (
