Keturah (Kay) Thunder-Haab is a familiar name and face at Concordia. A treasured friend and supporter of CUAA, Thunder-Haab has impacted the lives of many Cardinals and will continue to leave a lasting mark.
The Haab School of Business bears the name of her late husband, Oscar W. Haab, in recognition of his generous support of Lutheran education and the Concordia campus. While neither attended CUAA (Thunder-Haab is a 1959 graduate of Concordia, River Forest), both actively and faithfully served the Lord as members of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor and volunteered throughout the community. They believed strongly in Lutheran education and were committed to increasing access for more students.
A new competition-grade track and turf field project called the Thunder Sports Complex was dedicated in the fall of 2018. Aptly named for Keturah (Kay) Thunder-Haab, the Thunder Sports Complex is a significant upgrade for the entire Concordia community as well as the greater Ann Arbor community.
Other projects at Concordia have been made possible thanks to the generous support of Thunder-Haab. Examples of other projects include the barn restoration project, new competition floor at the Cardinal Field House, concessions equipment at the Cardinal Field House, and a six-passenger golf cart, named the Haab Mobile, and numerous other efforts to enhance the student experience. She is also routinely seen at many activities and sporting events on campus to show her continued support.
