PLYMOUTH – Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Ancilla College (MUAC) recognized local business and community leaders Gary and Robin Neidig at the annual Changing Lives Scholarship Dinner on October 3.
The Changing Lives Scholarship Dinner, held at the Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, raises funds to provide scholarships that allow students to develop professionally, personally and spiritually – talents that will continue to spur economic, social, and cultural growth throughout northern Indiana. More than 300 people attended this year’s scholarship dinner, raising more than $300,000 for MUAC student scholarships.
At this year’s Changing Lives event, the university also announced a generous $500,000 gift from Â鶹ֱ²¥ alumnus Terry Irving ‘06. Irving graduated in 2006 with his Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Â鶹ֱ²¥. He was inspired to donate to Â鶹ֱ²¥’s Ancilla College after growing up in rural Indiana and seeing the need for skilled, compassionate nurses to serve in rural communities.
