CENTENNIAL SOCIETY SPOTLIGHT
LIZ BROWN, M.D., B.S. '68
Elizabeth "Liz" R. Brown, Class of 1968, is an avowed snowbird, traveling annually between her summer home in Silver Lake, New Hampshire and her winter home in Port Charlotte, Florida. She is active in both communities, planning golf outings and social gatherings, some of which raise funds for college scholarships. Her enthusiastic support of her alma mater is many-layered: she co-chairs the College’s Science Advisory Committee, has served as a Mount Mentor, and stays in touch with other Mount alumnae. A distinguished neonatologist, Liz earned her M.D. from the University of Maryland and trained in Boston at Harvard Medical School’s Joint Program in Neonatology. After training, she was invited to join the staff as a clinical physician in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit, pursuing an abiding research interest in fetal and newborn lung development for many years before retiring in 2008. As a member of the esteemed Kellogg Fellows Leadership Alliance, a program of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Liz helps the organization provide opportunities for Kellogg Fellows around the world to make a positive impact through a wide variety of social justice initiatives. Liz has also been quite creative in making charitable contributions to the College. She has named Mount Saint Vincent among the residual beneficiaries of a trust she set up, and in 2016, she named the College as one of the beneficiaries of her Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Her initial pledge allowed her to establish the Dr. Elizabeth R. Brown Scholarship, which she augments annually through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from her IRA. Liz’s annual QCD withdrawals help to satisfy her required minimum distribution (RMD), and since the contributions are used for charitable purposes, the gift doesn’t count as income, thus reducing Liz’s annual income level and providing another tax advantage.
