Yearbook photo of Loddy Weisberg ’53
Loddy Weisberg ’53 created a legacy at UMass Lowell this year when she left a surprise gift to the University. Unbeknownst to the University, Weisberg, who died in 2010, remembered her alma mater (then called the State Teachers College at Lowell) in her estate with a generous gift. The funds created the “Loddy Weisberg ’53 Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund” to support students in the Graduate School of Education.
“Mrs. Weisberg’s gift is the largest single gift that the Graduate School of Education has received,” says Anita Greenwood, dean of the Graduate School of Education. “With the increasing cost of education, her scholarship will be of real benefit each year to an exemplary student who is beginning a student teaching practicum in one of Lowell’s elementary schools.” Weisberg retired from the Wilmington Public School system and had resided in Hyannis.
