A Friend of Lander, a Friend of the Arts: Lander Names Cultural Center for Josephine B. Abney By Charlotte Cabri Standing ovations are usually reserved for the end of a performance, but in April, concertgoers at Lander University opened the final event of the Greenwood-Lander Performing Arts Series with rousing applause for Greenwood philanthropist and arts patron Josephine B. Abney. At the performance, the university announced it would name its cultural center the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center in recognition of Abney and her provision of one of the largest, unrestricted cash gifts from an individual in the university’s history. “Mrs. Abney and her family have been longstanding supporters of this university,” said Lander President Dr. Daniel Ball, “and Greenwood and Lander are better places because of their efforts.” With a reputation for service and Southern hospitality, Abney shares her time and resources to benefit a wide variety of causes and institutions. Lander has been especially dear to her heart. She served on the Tower Leadership Committee for the university’s $15 million Comprehensive Campaign, The Lander Foundation Board and the university’s Board of Visitors. She provided funding for Lander’s John Sydney Abney Media Arts Room, named in memory of her late husband. The Abney Garden, adjacent to the office of the Lander president, is named in her honor. Lander conferred an honorary doctor of humane letters degree on her in 2006. Mrs. Abney has two children and five grandchildren.
