“I wanted to support something that meant a lot to me, and
that was helping a graduate student.”
After her last child went off to school, Anne Tirone, MA
’94, returned to college, eventually becoming a graduate
student in UB’s history department, where she found her most
satisfying learning experience. She also developed a
compassion for her financially strapped fellow students and later
vowed to make a difference by establishing the Charles S. Tirone,
MD '63 and Anne Reilly Tirone, MA '94 Endowed Scholarship
Fund.
