Clark University has received a $6 million gift from the late Tina Sweeney. Ms. Sweeney’s gift, a bequest, is dedicated to fostering broader music-education opportunities here at the University and to establishing music programs, through Clark, that inspire and bring music arts education to children in Worcester, said the University. “She often expressed her gratitude for receiving a financial package that allowed her to attend Clark and sparked a deep and abiding appreciation for the University and its mission,” President Fithian wrote. “I know you join me in extending gratitude and appreciation to Tina Sweeney, posthumously, for this wonderfully generous gift to Clark, which will have a very positive impact on our students and on youth in our neighborhood. We eagerly anticipate opening new avenues of engagement with our community and providing fresh educational and performing opportunities at Clark.” ....
The funds are designated for an array of music education programs in and around the school. Among them are an endowed chair in music, a scholarship for undergraduate students majoring in or planning to major in music, a neighborhood children’s music fund to support activities and programs that promote music education and exposure for children in Worcester’s Main South neighborhood, and an eponymous music concert series for the Clark community. “She often expressed her gratitude for receiving a financial package that allowed her to attend Clark and sparked a deep and abiding appreciation for the university and its mission,” President Fithian wrote in a statement announcing the gift. “I know you join me in extending gratitude and appreciation to Tina Sweeney, posthumously, for this wonderfully generous gift to Clark, which will have a very positive impact on our students and on youth in our neighborhood.” ....
