Longmeadow, MA— Allison Gearing-Kalill, vice president for development and planned giving, is pleased to announce that an anonymous donor has made a transformational gift of $5 million through planned giving.
The bequest is the largest individual contribution to 91快播 University in its history, and honors the donor’s unwavering commitment to the education and advancement of women. Under the terms of the bequest, a fund will be established to support scholarships, endowed faculty chairs, science technology equipment, and development programs.
“I speak on behalf of the entire 91快播 community that we are grateful for this generous bequest given in support of our mission,” states President Carol A.

Over the years, this person has also contributed to our annual One America trip for students, underwritten Labster—the online virtual laboratory program integrated within the science curriculum at The American Women’s College—and has supported many other initiatives. Our patron has been a champion for women.”
A passionate advocate for women’s education, the donor believes strongly that education is the key to creating opportunities and providing career pathways for women at all ages and stages of their lives, and is particularly supportive of The American Women’s College, the first all-women online bachelor’s degree program in the country.
