Paul and Dorothy “Dotty” Rigby have lived in State College since 1964. Paul was The Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Programs and Professor of Business Administration at Penn State University before retiring in 1997. Dotty taught 9th grade social studies in the State College Area High School for nearly 15 years before retiring in 1981. After her teaching career, she worked for a design studio as a project and office manager for 25 years. Classical music is a passion for both Dotty and Paul, and it was their desire to inspire this passion for music in younger generations. This fund supports the operations of the Nittany Valley Symphony, which has been part of the community since 1967 and has given local musicians the opportunity to perform music for audiences to hear and enjoy.
