Kristin Johnson Diversity in Dance Annual Scholarship
“My husband and I grew up with parents who stretched in many ways to provide us access to educational, arts and sports opportunities. The experiences we had, including my own dancing serious ballet for 17 years, definitely helped us develop skills and traits we utilize daily in our personal and professional lives.”
Each year during our exclusive Webster Society Dinner, Webster University honors a person or organization with the Visionary Award for their long-standing commitment to Webster and our students. The legacy of Visionary Award recipients remains for years to come.
