Midlothian school celebrates 100 years — and a nun who’s been there for 50 of them – Chicago Tribune
Good afternoon, Chicago.
Get ready to visit “the Griffin.” The Museum of Science and Industry on Sunday is officially becoming the Kenneth C. Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, a name change in recognition of a $125 million donation in 2019 from the founder and CEO of the Citadel hedge fund.
The donation was first reported when it and the name change were accepted by the museum’s board in October 2019. It’s the largest gift in the museum’s history, and one of the largest to a Chicago cultural institution.
A big part of the celebration will be honoring Sister Laurinda Hefel who spent nearly 50 years at the school, which was founded by the Franciscan Sisters of Dubuque. Read more here.
