Davidsonville resident Betty Knupp recently received the
Excellence in Public Service Award from the Alumni Association of Goucher
College. This annual award is given to alumni who demonstrate outstanding
commitment and leadership in public service.
Knupp, Class
of 1967, has volunteered with art education at elementary schools and
retirement communities, and taught classes for senior adults at Anne Arundel
Community College through its continuing education program. The college gave
her another class and another, and pretty soon she was teaching seven classes a
week, a career that spanned 25 years.
An avid gardener, Knupp
volunteers in the gardens of her church, a children's museum and a senior
center. She's also worked with the Anne Arundel Literacy Council and co-founded
the South County Concert Association, bringing music to the Annapolis area. She
has served on its board for 42 years.
