Interlochen Removes Epstein’s Name

Interlochen Center for the Arts is demolishing a lodge once named after Jeffrey Epstein, removing a painful chapter tied to the disgraced financier’s past donations and visits. Though Epstein funded the building and attended the school as a teen, the institution severed ties after his first conviction and now says his legacy clashes with its values. Two accusers claim they met him at Interlochen in the 90s, while internal reviews found no misconduct—but the school’s board says erasing his name is necessary. With alumni like Norah Jones and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Interlochen is choosing to move forward, honoring art and integrity over tainted history.
