The University of Iowa Eight Over 80 Award
Ann Berner Sexton (58BA)
A former high school English teacher and elementary school librarian, Sexton was influenced by Eleanor Roosevelt, who once urged a group of UI students to better their communities. Sexton has strived to live by those standards, serving as a board member and president of the Friends of the Ferguson Library, where she helped start a used book shop that benefits the library and a program that sends every baby born in Stamford, Connecticut, a book.
