ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø has announced the creation of four new endowed chairs, approved by the Board of Trustees during its January 2022 meeting, all made possible due to the generosity of ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø alumni.
Associate Professor Mary Simonson started out as a piano performance major at Rutgers University, then shifted her undergraduate focus to music history with a double major in women’s studies. Today, she is the Daniel C. Benton ’80 Endowed Chair in Arts, Creativity, and Innovation at ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø.
