CU College of Nursing Announces New Scholarship

Encouraging Diversity of Students Pursuing Midwifery Degrees

The University of Colorado College of Nursing faculty, in celebration of the Year of the Nurse-Midwife and National Midwifery Week, recently established the CU Nursing Midwifery Diversity Scholarship, specifically to provide support to diverse students who are from geographic areas and socioeconomic backgrounds that are historically underrepresented. More than $2,000 has been raised, and a matching amount up to $5,000 has been approved and donated by Darrell and Stephen Hammond, sons of the College’s first African-American graduate Zipporah Hammond. The College is also undertaking a crowdfunding campaign to help raise additional funds.

Love and Legacy: How a blind date led to a major gift to CU

Not long before his accidental death in an airplane crash, Karen Padrick’s husband (Kevin) came to her and asked if she wanted to give a significant donation to the University of Colorado School of Nursing. It took Padrick by surprise. “I didn’t have to think long, but it hadn’t really occurred to me,” she said. Kevin had already designated money to the University of Santa Clara where he received his undergraduate and graduate degrees. Business was good and for some reason, he decided they had more to give. “We could afford to spread the wealth around,” Padrick said. He to his alma mater, and she to hers – CU Nursing. “That was just the type of person Kevin was. Generous. Thoughtful. A bit impulsive,” recalled Padrick. Full story: Love and Legacy.
