Kohlenberg Lyceum Series Endowment Fund

The Kohlenberg Lyceum Series brings premier cultural events to the Truman State University campus for the enrichment of the entire community. An endowment fund was created to support the Lyceum program, and contributions to this fund provide continuing support for the Kohlenberg Lyceum Series. All Lyceum performances are free to Truman students.

Note: Donors may claim a tax deduction for their contribution minus the cost of any Lyceum season tickets they receive, valued at $75 each. Those who decline season tickets may take a deduction for the entire amount of their gift.

About Gilbert Kohlenberg


Gilbert KohlenbergThe Board of Governors renamed the Lyceum Series after the late Gilbert Kohlenberg, who is credited as the founder of the modern Lyceum Series at Truman State University. Kohlenberg was instrumental in the success of the Lyceum Series on the Truman campus and was appointed chair of the Lyceum Committee in 1960.

 

He and his wife, Mary Jane, came to the University in the 1950s to accept temporary positions; they planned to stay for six months. That six months grew into more than 40 years of service for Gilbert, professor emeritus of history and head emeritus of social science, and Mary Jane, assistant professor emeritus of math and computer science.
