Recognizing Students & Donors at Annual Awards Ceremony
Undergraduate and graduate nursing students recognized at annual College of Nursing Awards Ceremony.
Undergraduate and graduate nursing students are recognized annually with more than 100 scholarships and awards at the College of Nursing Awards Ceremony. This year on November 19th at the German Cultural Centre in Saskatoon, we celebrated with our donors, students and their families, as we presented scholarships and awards totaling just over $220,000.
“Every gift in support of nursing education is a gift towards better healthcare,” said College Relations Officer Anna Pacik. “University of Saskatchewan nursing graduates are employed as leaders throughout the province of Saskatchewan and around the globe. Supporting nursing education is a win on so many levels. I cannot thank our donors enough.”
Donor gifts truly help our students shine brightly and they are very grateful to receive an award. Kyla Richardson, 2nd year nursing student received the Shirley Hewko-Parkinson Award in Community Health and had this to say, “Thank you to this award donor for truly helping to lighten my stress load.” Nicole Marshal, recipient of the Entrance Award for Aboriginal Graduate Students, had this to say about receiving the award, “With my Master in the Nurse Practitioner program, I hope to use my skills to close the gap on accessible healthcare and improve the lives and health of Aboriginal people through education and health promotion.”
Congratulations to all our students who received awards this year and thank you once again to our very generous donors.
