The Jack ’76 and Carol ’76 Kramer Endowed Lectureship
In 2008, Jack and Carol Kramer, both graduates of the class of 1976, established the Kramer Lecture endowed lectureship, which serves as the anchor for GREAT Day. The lectureship exemplifies the type of leadership, passion and dedication that permeate the Kramers鈥� lives. Jack and Carol approach life with a shared intensity and commitment to others, and Geneseo is blessed to count them among our most enthusiastic supporters. They serve as models to our students, our alumni and the Geneseo community as a whole.
