With a generous gift, Donald R. Ware ’71 has endowed the top leadership position at Yale School of Drama and named it in memory of his mother, Elizabeth Parker Ware. The gift marks a seminal moment for the School of Drama, ensuring that every dean beginning with the current dean, James Bundy ’95 MFA will have permanent support to realize their vision for the school and its community, Yale leaders said.
“The excellence of the School of Drama depends on our ability to recruit transformative faculty leaders who define their fields,” said Yale President Peter Salovey. “By establishing the Elizabeth Parker Ware Deanship, Don Ware is helping to secure the eminence of a drama school that is already among the finest in the nation, and it allows us to honor the exceptional and long service of Dean James Bundy. I am profoundly grateful.”
