Welsh’s late wife, Theodora “Teddie” Welsh ’77, was the Massage Therapy program director from 2002 to 2009. She was instrumental in establishing an on-campus Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Clinic in 2003, allowing students to gain practical treatment experience. The clinic serves nearly 400 community residents annually; with Welsh’s support, hundreds more will be able to experience a state-of-the-art facility with advanced technology and expanded client services.
In 2010, Welsh also established a scholarship fund in his wife’s name; to date that fund has benefited 34 students in the Massage Therapy program.
