Dunn family pursues education and employment at Illinois State
Two members of the Dunn family were part of the Illinois State University campus in the ’50s and ’60s. Charles Dunn was a student and president of the Student Body and his mother, Teresa Dunn, was a janitress who ran the Faculty Coffee Shop in Hovey Hall. Charles attributes his success to his parents, especially his mother, who both had less than an eighth grade education, but worked hard to allow him to attend Illinois State.
