Mull Family's Latest Donation to Enhance Barton College's Arts and Ag Programs

The Keith and Marian Mull family, long-time supporters of Barton Community College, have donated again to the college's fine arts and agriculture programs. This donation, in memory of Keith and Marian Mull, continues their three-decade legacy of support, targeting the fine arts department and the new Ag and Transportation Complex, which will open in Fall 2024.

Jeanine Haynes, the Mulls' daughter, emphasized her parents' commitment to the arts and rural education. The Mulls aimed to support higher education in rural Kansas, especially in the fine arts and library facilities at Barton, including the Sunflower Room. Their latest donation reflects these lifelong interests.

The Fine Arts Auditorium at Barton Community College has seen significant upgrades due to the Mull family's contributions. These include a new scenery and video projection system, spotlights, and a soundboard. These improvements were featured in the spring musical 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' and will be used again in the upcoming Endowment Concert on May 9, which supports the Vocal and Instrumental Music Endowment.

The donation also helped purchase educational tools like a skeleton model for dance kinesiology, art plaster casts, and cameras, enhancing the educational experience for fine arts students at Barton.
