Margaret (“Peg”) Scatarige Tannenbaum (G’94), former director at Penn Law Development and Alumni Relations, died September 10. She was 76.

Ms. Tannenbaum earned her BA from Penn State and served as director of development at County Day School of the Sacred Heart in Bryn Mawr before joining Penn Law in 1984 (Peg DiPuppo at the time of her hire). She held several positions at Penn Law Development and Alumni Relations, starting out as an annual giving officer and going on to serve as director of annual giving, director of Development and finally as interim director of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, working with both Dean Robert Mundheim and Dean Colin Diver. She left Penn in 1993 to become assistant dean for development and alumni relations at Widener University School of Law. At the time of her retirement, Dean Diver noted that under her direction “our Annual Giving Program has become a nationally recognized model that many other law schools have sought to emulate. Peg’s departure will leave a very large hole to fill in our development program.” She received her MA in organizational dynamics from Penn in 1994.

Ms. Tannenbaum is survived by her husband, Philip Tannenbaum (C'54 M'58); children, Michael DiPuppo, Jr., Julia Pijawka (Daniel) and Kathryn Tucker (J. Rory); and grandchildren, Christopher and Ryan Pijawka and Riley Tucker.
