MEAD WITTER SCHOOL OF MUSIC - WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
MATCHING GIFT AVAILABLE: Thanks to Garry and Joanne Owens, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar -- up to $10,000 -- during Day of the Badger.
The Mead Witter School of Music is thrilled to announce the Susan C. Cook Scholarship Fund. This newly-established fund created by alumni, friends and our Board of Advisors will provide eligible students with full in-state tuition and will build upon Professor Cook's ten years of service as director of the School of Music.
Professor Cook's legacy resonates throughout the school, from the students she has mentored to overseeing the building and completion of Hamel Music Center which she called "the Wisconsin Idea at its most audible" upon its opening in 2019. During her ten years as director, Professor Cook has also developed a larger culture of philanthropy and support and has expressed her deep appreciation for the generous philanthropic individuals who have continued to support music students through scholarships and support of all kinds.
All gifts made during Day of the Badger will be designated to support students through the Susan C. Cook Scholarship and will ensure Professor Cook's pivotal contributions to the School of Music will be remembered for generations.
