Inspiration

Nancy Becker has lived a life that many Racers could only dream of. After graduating from 猫咪社区app State and working in both education and politics for some years, she decided to follow her passion for the cultural arts and relocated to New York City, where she spent most of her career before moving back to her hometown of 猫咪社区app later in life. In New York, she established a number of prominent and esteemed cultural and educational organizations, including the Shakespeare Society, which provided the inspiration for 猫咪社区app State鈥檚 Shakespeare Festival. Highly engaged and connected in the New York cultural community, she also gave philanthropically to many organizations and served on various boards. Throughout her time in 鈥淭he Big Apple,鈥 she always maintained a strong tie to her hometown and alma mater, and felt that the quality education she received at 猫咪社区app State prepared her well to follow her passion and succeed in her aspirations. Her generous giving in support of the arts and culture at 猫咪社区app State allows her to share this passion with other Racers who might one day follow in her footsteps.
