Shareholders Report (July 2010-June 2011)

We gratefully acknowledge the generous benefactors who stepped forward to support nursing education, research and practice from July 2010 through June 2011. These pivotal gifts support emerging needs at the School of Nursing and respond to the rapid growth and changes within the nursing profession. Thank you for helping to change the lives of our nursing students, faculty members, alumni, and the patients for whom our nursing community cares.

Some of this year’s giving highlights include: Emily Carol Hennings Anderson and Sheila and David Lein established named endowed scholarships. The newly launched Dean’s Circle welcomed 64 founding members. Barbara ’61 and Bruce Hiller made a generous estate provision to provide scholarship support for future students. Harry Lefto joined the Heritage Society with an estate provision that will strengthen the Tanya V. Ash Memorial Scholarship and future initiatives. Distributions received from the estate of David C. McFarland, husband of deceased alumna Dorothy ’45, will support the renovation of the school’s simulation innovation center. Professor Donna Bliss, PhD, RN, FAAN, was named the inaugural recipient of the newly established School of Nursing Foundation Research Professorship funded through philanthropic support.

To learn more about how you can make a gift to advance nursing education, please contact Gigi Fourré Schumacher at 612-625-1365 or visit www.nursing.umn.edu.
