Donor Reflections

Angela Thurlow ’82

“The Child Care Center offers non-traditional students and young faculty an excellent place for their children to learn in a state of-the-art facility with outstanding teachers. I couldn't think of a more appropriate place to gift money than to the future of our children.”

Dottie Fowler ’52, M.S.Ed. ’74

“What a joy it was to be able to claim a little bit of this oldest and beloved building as my legacy, knowing that deserving students would be assisted by my gift for years to come.”

Ruth Hart Blanchard ’23

"My mother has been recognized for what she had done for Cortland and her efforts in the Pre-K field since her graduation in 1923."

Margaret “Peggy” Curry ’52

“I only made one application to college; I knew I wanted to be at Cortland. The faculty were outstanding–all of them. They gave us the skills and tools to teach. I didn’t make much of a salary in the beginning but every paycheck I put something away. That has enabled me to do this naming. I am blessed in so many ways.”

Mary L. Hobson ’61

"It was an honor for the Hobson family to do this for Mary. Mary loved teaching and she loved going to school. She loved kids, all kids."
