(KAIR) -- Benedictine College announced that Dr. Ruth Krusemark, chair of the Music Department, would be the recipient of the inaugural Mother Evangelista Kremmeter Professorship of Benedictine Traditions and Values.
The new endowed professorship was announced at the college’s Scholarship Ball this past weekend and is named for the first prioress at Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in Atchison.
The announcement was timed to honor the Benedictine Sisters during their sesquicentennial celebration.
Dr. Krusemark will hold the professorship until she retires from full-time teaching.
The position comes with a stipend and a special fund to allow for campus programming like speakers and performers.
Dr. Krusemark received her Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance from Benedictine College in 1973, a Master of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Kansas in 1976, and a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in Organ from the University of Kansas in 1998.
She directs the Concert Chorale and the Chamber Singers and teaches piano, organ and music theory at Benedictine College.
She directed the Benedictine College Chamber Singers in four performances at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome for Pope John Paul II and once for Pope Benedict XVI.
