Teardrops
On April 13, the first night of Alumni Weekend 2018, three large bronze sculptures in the shape of teardrops were presented in memory of Jane Zehringer ’77, who died on January 21, 2018. Classmates, family, and friends gathered at Monterey for a moving presentation and remembrance, led by Joanne Cassullo ’78, a member of the Roanoke College Board of Trustees and dear friend, classmate and freshman roommate of Zehringer.
From that night forward, “Teardrops” —the work of New York artist Rob Wynne — will appear once a year on the first night of Alumni Weekend, hanging from a tree somewhere on campus. The teardrops will then “disappear” before dawn the next day.
“While they are in Jane’s memory, over the years it is our hope that they will come to represent everyone we have loved and lost — and with whom we have shared our remarkable RC experience”
-Joanne Leonhardt Cassullo 78’
