The TEAK Fellowship was established in 1998 by Justine Stamen Arrillaga in memory of Teak Dyer (1970-1988) and DeWitt White (1980-1997). Teak was an outstanding student, upstanding citizen, and friend of Justine's. DeWitt, a former student of Justine's, was a profoundly gifted musician.
Both were casualties of complicated urban problems, murdered at young ages - Teak in Los Angeles, DeWitt in New York. This program aims to draw on their spirits and to change the lives of talented young people who come after them.
