Lauris Martin Barr, '57, and her husband, Robert,
fuel learning through Libraries endowment
After receiving her teaching degree in 1957, Lauris Martin Barr embarked on
her dream career and taught elementary students in Michigan and Arizona.
Inspired by her lifelong passion for learning and reading – library science
classes were among her favorite at CMU – Barr is giving back to her alma mater
in a meaningful way. Her charitable gift established for the CMU Libraries
provides her a fixed income and will help equip students with the tools they
need to reach their maximum academic potential.
"CMU gave me the skills necessary to a teacher, which is something I always
wanted to be," says Barr, who is retired and lives with her husband, Robert.
