In the Ashland University family, Columbus resident Deborah Liebert Karl is known as a member of the Board of Trustees, an alumna and generous benefactor.
But her mother, Evelyn, says Karl “is a product of her father,” Jack Liebert, a U.S. Navy veteran who served in World War II and enlisted to fight in the Korean War. AU Vice President of Institutional Advancement Margaret Pomfret said Thursday that although she’d never met Liebert, who died in 2012, she knows Karl must be like him.
“She’s optimistic,” Pomfret said. “She’s impatient at times but she also focused on what’s important.”
