Mary remains a driving force in the field of kindergarten education. Her long experience and youthful excitement about new technology and innovations make Mary one of the most sought after professors on campus. A lively panel discussion, “100 Years of Kindergarten: The Potential for Long-Term Investment,” preceded the Tribute to Professor Mary Mindess at Lesley on October 28th and demonstrated that Mary is remains a force to be reckoned with as an expert in the field.
During the tribute Lesley administrators and faculty alike hailed Mary as an inspirational colleague. Faculty paid loving tribute to Mary, including a fun-filled musical performance and sing along.
Carol Moriarty knows first hand the extraordinary impact Mary makes on her students, commenting that “as my adviser, Mary just made a huge difference in my experience at Lesley. My husband John and I know that many students, colleagues and friends want to honor Mary, and we are providing a special incentive for them to give a gift that will be matched to Lesley in Mary’s name to honor her outstanding career.”
Your gift to the Annual Fund in Mary’s name will provide direct support for the education of future teachers and Lesley’s mission of service. Join us!
