The Suzanne Harvey Nursing Graduate Scholarship Fund has been established through the UCA Foundation to endow a scholarship for graduate students in the Department of Nursing.
The scholarship was named in memory of the late Suzanne Harvey by her parents, Ray and Emogene Burns of Denver, Colo., and husband, David Harvey of Conway, chairman of the UCA Department of Writing and Speech. Suzanne earned a master?s degree in nursing from UCA in 1999. She had spent many years as a nurse in intensive care units, home health, and finally, as an advanced nurse practitioner with St. Vincent Health System in Morrilton, the Arkansas Center for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in North Little Rock, and Arkansas Tech University in Russellville.
The scholarship will be awarded to graduate students who enroll in the nursing program to become an advanced nurse practitioner.
David Harvey said nursing was more than a job for his late wife — it was a calling. ?I know Suzanne would be proud to support a scholarship in nursing,? he said. ?Through this endowment, her passion for nursing will carry on, and in that, this family takes consolation.?
