Kathleen Talbert, Class of 1951, recently established the Clarice J. Michaels Fund with a $10,000 gift in memory of the former head of the Music Department Clarice J. Michaels and Dr. John Taylor Williams, president of Maryland State College from 1947 to 1970.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talbert, a music major while at the university, wanted her mentor, Dr. Michaels, “to be remembered, even if only by a few.” Her reverence for the president of the university during her undergraduate years motivated her to honor Dr. Williams as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This fund is unique because it provides much-needed operational support to the Music Division within the Department of Fine Arts,” said Kimberly Dumpson J.D., director of alumni affairs and planned giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It is a wonderful gift that goes a long way in providing the necessary supplies and equipment benefiting the Music Division and the students,” Dr. John Lamkin, music coordinator, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talbert is a resident of East Orange, N.J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Dumpson, the fund is open to receive additional gifts.
