A Stephens College alumna has promised to give her alma mater $1-million, with one weighty condition: Employees of the women’s college in Columbia, Mo., must lose a total of 250 pounds by the stroke of midnight on January 1.
And if the college’s president, Dianne M. Lynch, sheds at least 25 pounds, the donor will add $100,000 to her gift.
“This donation is unusual because it’s not about a program or a scholarship or any other kind of naming opportunity,” Ms. Lynch said on Friday. “It’s about investing in the people who work at this college.”
