Est. April <strong>2021</strong><br />
Dr. Lela A. Llorens has established a planned gift to create the Dr. Lela A. Llorens Library Collection Support Fund. The<br />
Blagg-Huey Library at Texas Woman’s is the archival repository for her professional papers and personal artifacts. Her<br />
personal collection of materials highlighting her experience as a scholar, educator and occupational therapist will<br />
assist students seeking their degree in occupational therapy as well as the general student population. This planned<br />
gift will help to ensure her collection is properly maintained and preserved.<br />

Dorothy Meyer Kincaid<br />
Science Equipment Fund<br />
Dorothy Meyer Kincaid ‘45 made a $225,000 gift<br />
to provide new equipment including a centrifuge,<br />
freezers and incubators allowing students and faculty to<br />
conduct their research. Upon her passing in 2015, her estate<br />
left a $1 million gift to TWU that added to the original fund.<br />
Thanks to this incredibly generous donation, our students have<br />
the opportunity to train and work with state-of-the-art equipment.<br />
In honor of her support, one of the labs in the new Scientific Research<br />
Commons has been named the Dorothy Meyer Kincaid Laboratory.<br />

Thanks to this generous gift, our students have the opportunity to train<br />
with state-of-the-art equipment. This confocal microscope is used to<br />
advance research projects that solve challenging biological questions.<br />
With this new equipment, we now have a cutting-edge microscopy<br />
center here in North Texas that is attracting top graduate students.<br />
