It’s sure to be a special commencement ceremony for St. Louis philanthropists and arts patrons Nancy and Kenneth Kranzberg. This Monday morning, May 13, the couple will don caps and gowns as they receive honorary doctorates from Washington University during the school’s graduation ceremony.
The couple will be awarded honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees for their “commitment to civic, social, and arts organizations, coupled with their profound influence on St. Louis’s cultural fabric,” according to a statement from WashU.
Their dedication to the arts is well-known through their co-founding of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation, which supports numerous cultural endeavors around St. Louis. Additionally, Nancy is a columnist with the Jewish Light.
