"Life was good at Wells," says Lisa Montgomery Hill '88, looking back on her days in Aurora. The mathematics major/American government minor played in the orchestra, studied abroad in Oxford, participated in Model Congress, was on the swim team, and learned to sail. "I was more than prepared to go into the 'real' world after Wells."
Raised in a philanthropic-minded family and ever appreciative of the difference that Wells College made in her life, Lisa has never hesitated to give back. "I come from a family that values quality education. My parents inspired me," she notes. Lisa has given to the Wells Fund every year since graduation. "During my four years at Wells, there were so many things that I loved: the small classes, the quality of teaching, wonderful friends, and the amazing location on Cayuga Lake. I'm inspired to do my small part to ensure that the Wells experience is available to others."
Lisa also included the College in her will. "Again, I am following in my parents' footsteps. I wanted to be clear about my intentions to support this institution," she says. Her husband, James, is on board with this philosophy and gives to the College through his job. "He shares my commitment to education," Lisa explains. "My husband's employer creates a Charitable Spending Account for each employee that is funded by the employee. James saw Wells on the list of approved recipients and knew it would mean a lot to me to designate his share to my alma mater."
