PHOENIX — Grand Canyon University has selected a top Valley real estate developer to bear the name of its expanding honors college.

To be named the Sheila and Mike Ingram Honors College, the honors college will get its own building in the center of GCU's Phoenix campus, and three dormitories will be dedicated to honors college students, GCU President Brian Mueller told Phoenix Business Journal.
