Louise graduated from the University of Miami Business School with a Business Management degree and retired from Delta Air Lines as a technical writer. She currently serves on the Boards of VPM (Virginia Public Media – PBS), GlobalWorx Technology, and RISE (a Mexican children’s refuge). Louise married David Nathan Martin ’52 who was a Hampden-Sydney Kappa Sigma, former Trustee, and founder of the Martin Agency in Richmond, Virginia.
After his retirement, David Martin became involved with Hampden-Sydney through a leadership program for freshmen students, which Louise now financially supports in his name. It has now become a 4-year program and a great enhancement to the H-S curriculum. She was an active member of the Wilson Center Advisory Committee and recently created the David and Louise Martin Endowment, which she hopes will ensure H-S continues to attract the brightest students possible.
