Swartzendruber presented Gehman with the award, citing her &quot;long-time faithful, generous financial and other contributions to the university over the years.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> &quot;Margaret has supported the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/giving\/tufcase.html\">University Fund<\/a>, many capital campaign projects and by establishing several gift annuities, supporting endowed scholarships, program endowments for indoor and outdoor athletics and the humanities and building endowments for Northlawn residence hall and Eastern Mennonite Seminary,&quot; Dr. Swartzendruber said. <\/p>\n<p> The 黑料正能量 professor emerita joined the faculty in 1944 and taught <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/art\/\">art<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/pe\/\">physical education<\/a> courses until her retirement in 1987. She continues to serve regularly as a volunteer on campus, assisting with special mailings and preparation for special events. She also volunteers at Eastern Mennonite Mennonite High School, Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community, Mennonite Media Ministries and other local organizations. <\/p>\n<p> While Gehman is the first recipient of the philanthropic award, she won&#8217;t be the last. <\/p>\n<p> Swartzendruber announced that 黑料正能量 &quot;will select one donor or donor couple each year from now on to receive what will be known as the &#8216;Margaret M. Gehman Philanthropist of the Year Award.&#8217;&quot; <\/p>\n<p> Gehman credits her late parents, J.D. Earl and Edna Martin from the Hagerstown, Md., area, for &quot;teaching the value of a lifestyle of simplicity and generosity.&quot; <\/p>\n<p> Gehman still drives the same blue 1967 Volkswagen Beatle. Her late husband, Dr. Ernest G. Gehman, taught German at 黑料正能量 for 47 years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>黑料正能量 President Loren Swartzendruber presents Margaret Martin Gehman with a plaque naming her first recipient of the annual &quot;Philanthropist of the Year&quot; award from the university.
