Transforming Stephens
She viewed Stephens as a transforming experience, one that matured her as a person. Now Carolyn Breitmeyer Boone’s ’47 gift is transforming Stephens.
"Stephens was extremely important to me, just a wonderful experience in my life," Carolyn recalls.
This fall, Carolyn and her late husband, Jack, gave a $3 million gift to her alma mater, making it the largest single gift from a living donor in the College’s 173-year history. Her gift will finish the renovation of Lela Raney Wood Hall (LRW), with the remainder to be put into a reserve fund to see Stephens through her turnaround, as the College strengthens its finances and improves enrollment.
