The KSC Development Office is proud to announce the receipt of several important gifts that will be of significant benefit to students and the campus community:

• The William  T.  Morris Foundation has given new gifts totaling $243,000 to support scholarship and program funding for the coming academic year. This represents the largest current use gift to the institution this year and brings the total from the W T Morris Foundation to over $1 million over the last five years. $5000 of this total is directed to the Cohen Center for programmatic support, and $238,000 is directed to financial aid, which KSC chooses to apply towards students in its Honors Program.

• Stephanie ’62 and Joseph Baute have added significantly to two endowed scholarship funds. The first is their previously established Stephanie and Joseph Baute Scholarship Endowment, and the second is the Class of ’62 Scholarship Fund, both of which support education majors.

• Jan Cohen, a long-time generous friend of the College and currently chair of the Cohen Center Advisory Council and member of the President’s council, has given two new gifts to KSC. Both are in honor of current administrators: Interim President Jay Kahn and former Dean of Arts and Humanities, Nona Fienberg.

• Barbara Peterson ’48 established a charitable remainder unitrust back in the ’90s that created an endowed scholarship. With her passing, the trust fund yielded $52,110 to fully fund this new scholarship to support education majors.

• Since the Thorne-Sagendorph Art Gallery opened over 20 years ago, Jules Olitski’s cor-ten steel sculpture, Oranto, has graced the lawn outside the Thorne Conference Room. Jules’ daughter, Lauren Olitski Poster, has donated this fine example of her father’s work, which is now a permanent piece of the Thorne-Sagendorph collection.
