The annual Jill Spurr Titus Memorial Scholarship Recital was on Tuesday, April 29 2025. Jill Spurr
Titus graduated from Drew in May 1989 with a double major in Music and Psychology. She was
enrolled in the Creative Arts Therapy graduate studies program at Lesley College when she lost
her life in a fatal car accident. The Music Department and Spurr’s parents recognized her talent
and created this scholarship to award those skilled, talented, and dedicated to the performing arts
like Spurr.

Pepper era and powerful anthems like Hey Jude and Come Together, the band captured the heart and spirit of the 60s with stunning vocals, authentic costumes, and immersive multimedia visuals. 💫🎶 It was truly a pleasure to host this incredible 10th-anniversary performance, and we thank
