CLAIRE TOW Obituary

TOW--Claire. The Brooklyn College community mourns the loss of our benefactor and alumna Claire Schneider Tow. Claire and Leonard Tow met while students at Brooklyn College, and have generously supported the college over the years through the Tow Foundation, which has provided endowments for internship programs, scholarships, and faculty travel fellowships, as well as undergraduate travel stipends for students conducting research outside of the United States. But the Tows' most lasting legacy on campus will be the Leonard & Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts, a rehearsal, production, and performance space that their unfailing generosity has made possible. Faculty and students, both now and in the future, owe Claire Tow a debt of gratitude. Karen L. Gould, President, Brooklyn College
