The University of Connecticut announced its single biggest gift ever on October 6, a $40 million donation from one of its alumni to build a new nursing school facility. Connecticut Gov.
Ned Lamont said about the donor at a State Bond Commission meeting that day, where the legislature approved an additional $30 million to help fund the nursing school expansion, “I recommend you stop by a Subway and get something to eat.” That’s because the donor to UConn is Elisabeth DeLuca, 76, the low-profile widow of Subway cofounder Fred DeLuca, who died of leukemia in 2015
