“The Cartwrights have a deep commitment to create transformative opportunities for talented and capable students,” Kent State University President Beverly Warren wrote in the press release. “Their support directly contributes to preparing and empowering students from diverse backgrounds to become informed, passionate and well-rounded citizens through an engaging education in the arts.”
Cartwright served as Kent State’s first female president from 1991 to 2006, and then became president at Bowling Green State University from 2008 to 2011.
