The Foundation Celebration took place on campus, April 6.

Dr. Gail B. Crump (’64) and Dan (’79) and Jan (’76) Shepherd were honored with the prestigious President’s Leadership Award recognizing their many years of volunteerism and generous financial support of the University. Truman’s relationship with the Bayer Corporation was recognized through the Distinguished Corporation/Foundation Award. Guests were treated to student spotlights, which included incredible music performances and presentations from current students about their Truman experiences. Additionally, more than 100 alumni and friends were recognized as new members of the University’s prestigious giving societies.
