Goucher College is delighted to announce that Judy C. Lewent ’70, an accomplished business executive who retired in 2007 from Merck & Co. as executive vice president and chief financial officer, and her husband, Mark Shapiro, have pledged a $10 million lead gift to support the construction of Goucher’s Science Innovation Center, a $40 million expansion of Goucher’s existing Hoffberger Science Center designed to meet the demands of science, today and into the future.

Goucher College is proud to announce the appointment of four new members to the Goucher College Board of Trustees.
