Mary L. Carlson-Mason ’72 was presented the Gertrude B. Jupp M-D’18 Outstanding Service Award. Mary Carlson-Mason has long been a “connector” in the Class of 1972 — a friend of many who connects numerous groups within the early 1970s classes. More officially, she served as steering committee chair and a tireless leader of the past two cluster reunions for the Classes of 1971-1973 — inspiring the highest attendance at any 30th Reunion in 2002. A talented writer, she chaired the Alumni Association’s Communications Committee from 2001 to 2003 and in that capacity helped create and also named Lawrence E-News (LENs) the online alumni newsletter.
