通过奖学金产生影响
Generous donors share their stories and what inspired them to support the next generation of students.
凯瑟琳P. Alexander-Lennon ’84 Endowed Scholarship for Nursing
Created by her family after her passing in April 2023
When Cate's husband and father of their six children passed away after battling melanoma, she was faced with a decision: return to her administrative job at Goodyear that would barely support her young family or fulfill her dream of attending college and provide a better life for her family. 凯特很快就参加了格温内斯的护理课程, inspired by the nurses who took care of her husband during his cancer treatment. 在这里阅读凯瑟琳的故事.
我妈妈只是一个普通人. Usually when somebody has a scholarship in their honor, it’s because they were a senator or super successful business person. But our definition of success is her being an amazing mother and an incredible role model for all of us.
