Our special Reunion 2002 Gift Project is the Phyllis Hoyt Peabody Scholarship Fund. As you may know, Dean Hoyt wanted proceeds from the sale of her memoir, Where the Peonies Bloomed, to go toward scholarships in the Western tradition. Since the Peabody Scholarships are among our most popular, it seemed fitting that we create this fund in her name and give alumnae and friends an opportunity to help it grow. To make your Reunion 2002 gift now, go to Miami’s secure giving page, select WCAA, and type "Phyllis Hoyt Peabody Scholarship Fund" in the "Additional Information" box.

Where the Peonies Bloomed, Phyllis Hoyt’s warm and personal memoir of her years at Western College, is available for sale through the WCAA, Inc. office. The cost is $10, with all proceeds to be donated to the scholarship fund in Dean Hoyt’s name. To order a copy of the book, click here.
