Kitty Green and Hobart Jones Master of Arts in Teaching Scholarship
for Inquiry Teaching and Cooperative Learning
The Kitty Green and Hobart Jones Scholarship for Inquiry Teaching
and Cooperative Learning honors the couple who inspired it and contributed
generously to the fund that provides it. Green, who earned an MAT at
Mary Baldwin in 2000 after a remarkable business career, considered
her all-too-brief stint as a teacher the most rewarding experience
in her life. She died of ovarian cancer in 2002.
