Donor Impacts
Tomo Ono
"Being able to fully commit to my nursing studies and deepen my involvement with professionally
and personally meaningful activities, such as being an ambassador for the College
of Nursing, has only been possible because of the generosity of others."
Marilyn Chassie Sonnenberg
Thanks to the generous support of Marilyn Sonnenberg, a College of Nursing alumna
and former associate dean, a large classroom at the Lexington Health campus was named
in her honor. This versatile location can deliver effective training to large groups,
with innovative flexibility to break into smaller rooms for interactive learning.
