and community. Kuehn served two consecutive terms on the Board of Directors for the Alumni Association from 1995-2001, acting as vice president of the board. She continues to serve by being involved in the local alumni club in Louisville, Ky., where she lives. As an accomplished artist, Kuehn has painted iconic buildings, statues and scenes on campus. She has donated original prints to The Woods to be sold with proceeds benefitting the College. Kuehn also volunteers with the Gilda’s Club Louisville, Kentucky Refuge Ministries and Louisville Visual Arts Association.

Martha “Marti” Rumely Kuehn ’69 is part of a family legacy at The Woods that goes back to 1891. Kuehn, who received the Frances Murphy Rumely Award during the 2017 Reunion, is a “living clone” of her mother, for whom the award is named. Her legacy as a Woodsie began long before she first walked down The Avenue, as her mother and aunts all graduated from the Academy or SMWC. Fittingly she, along with her siblings, cousins and nieces, kept the tradition alive. Demonstrating leadership, dedication, love, compassion and spirituality as an educator, artist, realtor and volunteer, Kuehn embodies the spirit of the award and her mother, who volunteered thousands of hours to her college
