Winifred Schreiner Clark ’45

Winifred Schreiner Clark ’45, studied history and education and planned to become a teacher, but her life took her in a different direction—working in corporate libraries for more than 20 years. A member of the New York Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club, Winnie met her husband, Franklin B. Clark, on a club trip to Norway. After her marriage, she moved to Athens, New York, but never forgot her time at QC. Attending Queens College at a time when tuition was free, Winnie wanted a way to give back to the school that gave her such a “great education.” Winnie decided to establish a charitable gift annuity that pays her a guaranteed income for the rest of her life. She has been so pleased with her annuity, and still considers herself “so lucky to have not paid a penny in tuition,” that Winnie has decided to establish a second charitable gift annuity for the benefit of Queens College!
