Isabel Overton Bader
Isabel Overton Bader 1926-2022 Isabel Overton Bader, LLD’07, turned a lifelong passion for the arts into invaluable support for generations of students at Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario. She and her beloved husband Alfred were known for their extraordinary generosity, notably their donations of world-class works of art, Bader College, and the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. Through life-changing scholarships, curatorships, and research chairs, Isabel opened up the worlds of music, art, dance, theatre, and costume. She believed in the potential of young people to achieve excellence, and created opportunities to develop Canada’s gifted emerging musicians. She sought to enable children, through music, to reach their potential as individuals and citizens. Her deep commitment has forever enriched our experience. Thank you, Dr. Bader. queensu.ca/isabelbader
