Donald Johnston, a member of the Mid-America Arts Alliance Board of Directors, has been recognized by the KU Alumni Association as a 2009 recipient of the Fred Ellsworth Medallion for "unique and significant service" to the University of Kansas. “As the first in my family to attend college," said Mr. Johnston, "I was able to earn my degrees with help from dedicated alumni who were both generous and tireless in their support and encouragement for KU, and I have tried to follow their example for all these years. Receiving the Alumni Association’s Ellsworth Medallion for service to the University is extremely meaningful to me, and an unexpected honor which I shall treasure always.”
