Florence Cobb Celebration at MSU Mankato: Photos, Videos and Stories Needed

Florence was a passionate, caring, and beloved dance educator at Minnesota State University, Mankato for 22 years, from 1968 (then called Mankato State College) to 1990, and passed in 2016 at the age of 95.

She established the Dance Education Minor in 1976, which has since grown into a program with multiple Dance Major tracks and a Dance MFA within the Department of Theatre and Dance. We are beginning to make plans to celebrate her amazing life on our campus in the spring (details coming soon) and hope all those whose life was touched by this amazing woman will be able to join us.

We would love to include your connection to Florence: we are searching for photos of Florence, videos of her teaching or choreography, and stories about Florence that we can include as part of the celebration. If you can share any of these, please contact Daniel Stark at daniel.stark@mnsu.edu.

We will share the details of the event soon so you can make plans to attend.

Thank you!
