Tillie K. Lubin Symposium Series

Tillie K. Lubin (1908-2006)

A native of Iowa, Tillie Kulp married Charles Lubin in the late 1930s soon after he had purchased a chain of neighborhood bakeries in Chicago.  After the birth of their daughter Sara Lee, the Lubins renamed their company the Kitchens of Sara Lee.  The company’s great success allowed the Lubins to engage in many philanthropic projects.  Among their major gifts, they established the Charles Lubin Family Chair for Women in Science at Skidmore College and the Charles W. and Tillie K. Lubin Center for Plant Biotechnology and Lubin Chair of Hormone Research at the Weizmann Institute of Science.  Tillie Lubin also had a lifelong passion for the arts and a particular affinity for Spanish culture. Her daughter Sara Lee Schupf served on the Women's Studies Program Board in the 1990s and endowed the Lubin Symposium in her mother's honor.
