Jane ’44 and Ed Seaman

Jane and her husband chose to support her alma mater because "having graduated in the days of East Buffalo Street, it has been exciting to see the growth of the college on South Hill while sensing that IC has retained its focus on the individual student as a person, not a number."

They established a scholarship for drama students because, Jane said, "as a drama major, I understand the mountainous climb for anyone trying to make it in theatre. Helping a student devote his or her college time to classes and study rather than outside work should enable him or her to get more out of the college experience. My memories of IC are treasured. We hope to provide that opportunity to others in the future."
