Ms. Windsor, a Temple College of Liberal Arts alumna, was honored during the 2014 Alumni weekend for her role in the Supreme Court case![windsor](https://smcsites.com/update/files/2014/04/windsor-300x239.jpg) officially ending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The Leonard Mellman Endowed Fund for Visiting Scholars held a screening of a documentary chronicling the romance between Ms. Windsor and her wife, the late Dr. Thea Spyer.
