Dr. Margaret Martin Gehman was among the first female graduates from Eastern Mennonite College to earn a doctorate and served as a professor of art and physical education at the university for nearly 50 years. She continued teaching a watercolor course for nine years after her official retirement.

In her retirement, Gehman was known around campus for her volunteer and philanthropic work at EMU. An annual philanthropy award is named in her honor.
