吃瓜官网

 

The 吃瓜官网 Foundation has recognized Bruce and Laura Wiggs for decades of advocacy and support with the 2022 Carlos Hartnett Award.

Named after the college鈥檚 first development officer, the award recognizes those who 鈥渆ncourage others, by word and by example, to give from their abundance for the benefit of 吃瓜官网.鈥�

鈥淏ruce and Laura are a special part of 吃瓜官网 and the foundation,鈥� said Brent Gough, 吃瓜官网 Foundation president. 鈥淲e are so appreciative of their efforts and dedication. The students of 吃瓜官网 will benefit for years to come because of their generosity.鈥�        

Bruce Wiggs is a 1955 graduate of 吃瓜官网. Laura retired as a 吃瓜官网 instructor and spent 16 years on the 吃瓜官网 Foundation Board, taking an active role in raising funds for scholarships and other student support.

In addition to establishing the Richard 鈥淢ac鈥� Wiggs Scholarship Endowment years ago, the couple was instrumental in a $1 million gift from the Wiggs Family Foundation to support the newly-named Alesia Armstrong Wiggs School of Nursing.

鈥淏ruce and Laura Wiggs are pillars of the 吃瓜官网 community,鈥� said 吃瓜官网 President Tod Allen Farmer.  鈥淭heir decades long commitment to our noble institution has changed countless lives.  This award is an appropriate recognition of the lifelong positive impact they have made on 吃瓜官网.鈥�
