Mary Baldwin University has recently received pledges totaling $2.25 million that will help support both the institution’s growth and the student experience.
A $1 million bequest from internationally acclaimed sculptor Betty Gold will fund scholarships for residential women on the Staunton campus. A pioneer in her field, Gold rose to prominence in the 1970s as a woman artist creating monumental, geometric sculptures in a male-dominated field.
The gift is part of Mary Baldwin’s recently launched $25 million fundraising campaign, Invest for Impact, which seeks to support programmatic and enrollment goals through 2025.
