“Whenever there is a need, Mary Tabb raises her hand and gets to work,” said Dr. Ken Perkins, director of development for academic priorities. “And she does it with gracefulness.”
In recent years, Schubert’s impact has been directly tied to student support and success. This includes the Mary Tabb Johnston Schubert ’72 Scholarship, which she established within the family of scholarships program. She also served as co-chair of the Class of ’72 Reunion Committee, which has endowed a class scholarship.
Schubert, who earned a bachelor’s degree in biology, is retired from the University of Virginia medical laboratories, where she was a medical technologist.
“As a student, Mary Tabb’s enthusiasm for Longwood and its traditions was infectious,” recalled Dr. Wayne Tinnell, who was Schubert’s advisor.
The Lifetime Loyalty Award is awarded periodically to honor alumni who actively volunteer at Longwood; who help to expand the influence and prestige of the university; and who consecutively include Longwood in their philanthropic giving.
