 Person

Biography

Marcia Kaplan Nielsen was a college advisor at the Nightingale-Bamford School, starting around 1966 until her retirement in spring 1992. She served in many other roles as well, including at least one year on the Board of Trustees, advisor to Classes XI and XII, the yearbook, and The Spectator student newspaper, and Assistant to the Headmistress. Her husband, Waldemar A. Nielsen, was also involved with the school as a Trustee and occasional speaker. Their daughter, Signe, graduated in the Class of 1968.

The Nielsens created the Nielsen Service Award in 1987, to be awarded annually to an Upper School student whose contribution and commitment to community service and engagement are outstanding.

In 1992, the Nielsens gifted Nightingale five works of art by young Chinese artists painted in China between the end of the Cultural Revolution in 1977 and the Massacre of Tienanmen Square in 1989, to fill the new wall spaces after school construction.
