Motivated by a desire to pay her success
forward, Dr. Furukawa continues to guide aspiring nurses into careers
that care for older adults through the Chiyoko Furukawa, PhD Scholarship
Fund at the CU Nursing. “I am grateful for my CU education, which
provided the foundation for a satisfying career in nursing,” said
Furukawa.
One recipient of her generosity is Marissa Yoder, a nursing student
who will graduate in December 2018 with a master’s degree in adult
gerontology primary care.
