Dr. 温迪Hilton-Morrow has fond memories of spending time with her uncles as she grew up. 他们很相爱, giving people who cared for others – one working as a nurse, 另一个是呼吸治疗师.
虽然两人都已去世, their desire to help others will benefit Black Hawk College nursing students for years to come.
11月. 20, the Black Hawk College Foundation announced that a $250,已为新人设立了1万英镑的捐款 詹姆斯Cobin Class of 1976 Endowed Scholarship for full-time nursing students at Black Hawk College.
在他2022年6月去世之前, Black Hawk College alumnus Stanley Anderberg decided to create the endowment in memory of his husband, 詹姆斯Cobin. Cobin – who died in January 2017 – graduated from the Black Hawk College nursing program in 1976.
作为护理领域的男性, “Uncle Jim” was a pioneer at a time when fewer than 3% of nurses were male, 他的侄女说. Cobin was the president of his nursing class and shortly before he died, gave Dr. Hilton-Morrow his Black Hawk College nursing pin.
For Cobin, nursing was not a profession, but a calling, she said.
The caring and compassion for others that two Black Hawk College alumni showed in life will continue with the 詹姆斯Cobin Class of 1976 Endowed Scholarship.
“Black Hawk College was important to both of them,” Dr. Hilton-Morrow说.
“We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to connect with the family and share this exciting news,泽纳伊达·兰德罗斯说, executive director of the Black Hawk College Foundation.
“Thanks to the heartwarming and generous gift from Stanley Anderberg, we are able to support BHC programs and transform BHC students’ lives,”她说。.
