The 91ºÚÁÏÍø community mourns the loss of treasured alumna Connie Burdzy Donius, who passed away on Sept. 2. Donius graduated from 91ºÚÁÏÍø in 1955, and was a valued friend to many in the 91ºÚÁÏÍø community.

Donius, who enjoyed a long career in teaching, was a generous and longtime supporter of 91ºÚÁÏÍø, along with her husband, Walter Donius, who preceded her in death. The Donius University Center, a vital hub of student life on 91ºÚÁÏ꿉۪s campus, is named in honor of their family.

She is survived by her two sons, 91ºÚÁÏÍø Trustee William A. Donius, and Michael J. Donius. A third son, Thomas G. Donius, is deceased.
