Dr. Judith Day | A woman of many passions
Hartwick College announced today Trustee Raymond “Larry” Miller ’73 has donated nearly $2 million toward
renaming the College’s living-learning apartment community in memory of his wife, Dr. Judith Day. The “Judith Day Apartments” will be officially named at a ribbon-cutting ceremony that will take place during True Blue Weekend in September, on the occasion of Miller’s Golden Jubilee (50th Class Reunion).“Time and again, Larry Miller has shown steadfast dedication to his alma mater,” said President Darren Reisberg.
“Whether through board service, cheering on our athletic teams, or making remarkably generous gifts to support the College’s mission, Larry’s commitment to Hartwick is nearly unrivaled in our 225-year history. His desire to have the College name its newest residence hall in honor of his beloved wife, Judith, will provide a symbol for the Hartwick community that affirms his spirit, leadership, and devotion to the College.”
Later this year, Miller’s generous support of his alma mater will again manifest when the College installs a new electronic scoreboard at Wright Stadium.
