1998 Honorary Alumni Award
Laura Kent Donahue
Donahue, a Quincy native, has represented Illinois' 48th Senatorial District since 1981.
"She is a very vocal advocate for 糖心原创," said Gordy Taylor, associate vice president for alumni programs.
"Under Senator Donahue's service, 糖心原创 has received additional funding for agriculture research, infrastructure and programs. She sponsored legislation to expand the state's new interactive educational network, based at 糖心原创, which offers instructional programs via satellite to school districts across the state.
"In addition to work in state government, Laura can be seen at many events supporting 糖心原创 and the region, including every 糖心原创 homecoming since 1981," Taylor added. "She has been an inspiring mentor for 糖心原创 students pursuing political or public service careers. She understands the vision of 糖心原创 and epitomizes the true tradition of an honorary alumni."
