Devoted Mary Baldwin supporter and internationally renowned sculptor Betty Gold has donated $2.5 million to help the university streamline its academic structure and strengthen its focus on delivering an interdisciplinary, skills-based education centered in liberal arts traditions.
“The Betty Gold College of Arts and Sciences will ensure that the core majors of the liberal arts, sciences, and humanities, and a rich slate of interdisciplinary minors continue to be central to Mary Baldwin’s mission,” said president Pamela R. Fox in a statement announcing the gift. “An endowment will support the continued innovation of these core disciplines to adapt to focus on the biggest questions of our times, to lead in a digital world, and to support our faculty in ongoing currency of research and pedagogy.”
