Dorothy Shallenberger was praised for going the extra mile for faculty, staff and students in the Department of Music. The chancellor cited Shallenberger’s role in establishing a piano replacement project in which she “almost singlehandedly” raised the money needed to purchase numerous baby grand and upright pianos for the department. “You wrote grants, designed a brochure for the campaign, developed mailing lists and personally met with patrons. You also established a working relationship with Trombino Pianos that has resulted in many low-cost piano purchases for the department,” the chancellor wrote.
