Making Music

AndersonAssociate Dean Emeritus of Engineering Frank Anderson (left) created the Mary Courtney Anderson Piano Scholarship to honor of his wife and provide piano students with opportunities to advance their careers. Endowed with $52,432, the scholarship will be awarded to a freshman or undergraduate transfer student studying piano. Mrs. Anderson, who taught private lessons and shared her gift of music at campus and community functions, plays for services at Oxford-University United Methodist Church. Dr. Anderson, who chaired the Department of Chemical Engineering for more than 30 years, is a volunteer science teacher at First Baptist Church’s Weekday Education Center. Here, with assistance from Mrs. Anderson, he uses an open piano to help preschoolers learn how sounds are created. Anderson Hall, which houses some engineering programs, is named in his honor.
