Mari Hulman George legacy lives on Mari Hulman George showed her support of the College in many ways. Last fall, she passed away at age 83. At Saint Mary-of-the- Woods College, her name will always be remembered for the transformational gift she made in 1989 establishing one of SMWC’s signature programs, the Mari Hulman George School of Equine Studies. In addition, the Mari Hulman George Thoroughbred Adoption, which matched retired thoroughbred track horses with new homes and second careers, was also conducted by the equine studies program. Her legacy lives on through alums and students. “Mari Hulman George made herself a significant part of the Saint Mary-of-the- Woods College family,” said President Dottie L. King in a statement. “Our shared love of horses and commitment to education provided a natural fit that added to our connection through family."
