艾伦V. 富特的71年, Barnard’s fifth president, was honored in three ways this fall for her extraordinary record of leadership and service to the College. 第一个, to celebrate 富特’s lifelong dedication to Barnard, Trustee Nancy Garvey ’71 initiated a campaign for the 艾伦V. 富特 ’71 Leadership Fund, with a pledge of $1.500万年. The 富特 Leadership Fund will be used to support the College’s highest priorities. 然后, in recognition of Garvey’s generous financial commitment, the green space situated in the center of campus was officially named the 艾伦V. 富特 ' 71 Field. (Colloquially, it will be called “富特 Field.”)最后, 富特, currently the president of the American Museum of Natural History, was initiated into the 哥伦比亚大学 体育运动 Hall of Fame, in acknowledgment of her instrumental role in creating the Columbia-Barnard 体育运动 Consortium in 1983. The Consortium enables Barnard students and the undergraduate divisions of 哥伦比亚大学 to compete together as members of University-wide athletic teams. The only such agreement in NCAA Division I athletics, it makes Barnard the only college for women with Division I college sports. 在一起, 富特 Field and the 富特 Leadership Fund will ensure that Ellen 富特’s exceptional influence on the College community will continue for generations to come. •
