Subject: Announcing $10 Million Martha Darling ’66 Fund for Student Success
October 1, 2024
Dear ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó Community,
I am delighted to announce a transformational gift to ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó College from alumna and trustee emerita Martha Darling ’66 and her husband, Gilbert Omenn, MD, PhD, to support student success. This donation will create the Martha Darling ’66 Fund, which will fund several important initiatives and positions on campus.
Martha has long been a strong advocate for student success here at ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó, having chaired the President’s Commission on Student Life at ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó College in the early 1990s and producing a 1993 report that helped define goals for the Division of Student Life. She has also generously donated to ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó in the past, including endowing the Martha A. Darling Dean of Students position.
You can read more about this extraordinary gift in the ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó College Newsroom.
Best,
Audrey
