About David & Frances Brain :
Frances Brain attended Baldwin Wallace on a small academic scholarship from 1941-1943. She was the first in her family to attend college and always regretted that she was not able to complete her education and earn her degree. She enjoyed every minute of her time at BW. She was in the work-study program and a proud member of Alpha Gamma Delta. David attended Baldwin Wallace on the GI Bill after serving in WW II. He was able to complete his degree in three years, working full time at night while supporting his wife, Frances, and their two daughters. David graduated from Baldwin Wallace in 1952, after which he pursued an MBA at Harvard Business School and went on to build a successful career in the insurance industry. David and Frances both gave generously of their time and talents to numerous community organizations and went on to found the Frances Hollis Brain Family Foundation, dedicated to providing for the basic needs of the underserved. In recognition of a transformational experience at BW, David and Frances established an endowment at Baldwin Wallace to teach and mentor undergraduates in leadership skills and promote the understanding that it is the responsibility of all leaders to give of themselves to enhance their communities.
The right to peacefully protest is protected by the First Amendment. When choosing whether to participate in a protest, it's important to know your rights and responsibilities and evaluate the goals and risks of this type of action. Advanced preparation doesn't guarantee safety, but can help to reduce risks. There are multiple resources you can look to for safety precautions and tips.
In partnership with the BW Computer Science and Sustainability programs and BW Dining Services, Campus Plate is a program designed to reduce food waste and combat food insecurity on campus.
Deep-seated systemic racism and inequities are still woven into the fabric of our institutions today — from health care and education to our criminal legal system. The BW Civic LEAD Series is a powerful platform for the BW community to connect with both academic and personal perspectives from trusted campus voices across disciplines, elevating our public discourse around race and racism in America.
