Carl Lawrence ’51 & Lois Adams Lawrence ’42

Carl Lawrence ’51 and Lois Adams Lawrence ’42 were dedicated

supporters of their alma mater, especially the School of Music, and provided an estate gift to Millikin University through their living trust. Carl earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering

administration from the University, then served as an assistant to the postmaster general and a postal advisor to Germany and Saudi Arabia. He later served as a management specialist for the U.S. Agency of International Development in Belize. Lois earned a bachelor’s degree in music education and shared her passion for music as an instructor of piano and voice. While living in Belize, she taught guitar, voice and recorder, and also served as director of a community choral society and produced benefit concerts in the country. The couple settled in Anderson, S.C., upon their retirement. Carl and Lois were longtime supporters of Millikin and contributed generously to the Campaign for Music in the late 1990s. Their estate gift was largely designated toward the Carl and Lois Lawrence Music Scholarship, an endowed fund which will ensure that their legacy of support of music education continues to provide much-needed assistance to students in perpetuity. As fine arts patrons, the Lawrences also designated a portion of their trust to help fund construction of the Center for Theatre & Dance.
