As a student at UIS, Nancy Hahn learned about the Chartres Cathedral in a class called Medieval Art and Architecture, taught by Margaret Rossiter. She didn't really appreciate the cathedral, however, until she visited Europe and walked into the building itself. The endowed Nancy M. Hahn Fund will be used for study-abroad Student Aid, with preference given to students who stay abroad for a semester. Nancy earned a degree in Creative Arts from UIS (then Sangamon State University) in 1981 and an MA in History in 1987.
