Lisa Thurmond nominated Caroline to join the council in 2015, and in 2017, Caroline received the council’s Fedora Award for Advocacy (pictured above) for spearheading the creation of the Fine Arts Parents Council and her service on the Executive Committee. She and her husband Robert are both UT graduates, and their daughter Margaret will be a senior next year in the Moody College of Communication. Caroline also serves on the Executive Board of Directors for the Charity Ball Association and is involved with numerous arts organizations in San Antonio and Santa Fe. “I am delighted to be leading the Fine Arts Advisory Council this year,” Caroline says. “It has been such a pleasure to watch the sea-change in COFA led by Dean Dempster over the last several years. He has poised the college to be ready for the challenges that we are facing right now as well as prepared the college to turn the page to a new chapter of leadership.”
