Lewiston Porter Sentinel, May 13, 2006

Niagara University senior Rebecca Spindler is the second recipient of the Tara Laurie Memorial Scholarship, an award named after Tara Laurie, a theater major who passed away in October 2004.

Tara’s parents, Janice and Donald, established the scholarship in 2005 to financially assist a theater student applying to the department’s summer theater program at Schiller International University in London.

“The Tara Laurie Memorial Scholarship is our way of keeping our daughter’s song alive and her spirit of joy and love soaring,” her parents said.
