Meridith Harmon Sauer Guest Artist Series
Warrensburg residents Lynn and Jackie Harmon have made a gift to the University of Central Missouri Foundation. The gift establishes an endowed professorship and guest artist series in the Department of Theatre in honor of their daughter, Meridith Harmon Sauer. The professorship will provide funds to assist faculty in future academic and professional training which, in turn, will provide dividends to our students. The guest artist series will allow us to bring in nationally and regionally recognized theatre artists and educators to work hand-in-hand with our students and faculty.
