Class of 67 Forever Fund

The BSN Class of 1967 has created a fund to honor its members. Members of the class anticipate that the Class of 67 Forever Fund will provide a good way to honor, not only the achievements of classmates, but also the deep caring they have for each other. Eventually — hopefully, far in the future — it will serve as a memorial fund as well.

Class member Susan Spalt, says that is difficult to summarize what makes the class unique. “We were the class that always tried to push the envelope, bend the rules, and

question the rules,” she says. “We did not understand then that the process of becoming nurses would also make us lifelong friends — friends who still laugh at how we fought the School of Nursing when they tried to make us behave, smile at the fun we had, and occasionally sing the old songs.”

“We also take pride in what we have done — many of us were in leadership positions, fought battles for the undeserved, and worked to make nursing a better and more cutting-edge profession,” she adds. “Many of us are retired but nearly all of us are still trying to make the world a better place — here and around the world.”

The ultimate goal of the fund is to build an endowed scholarship at the $ 50,000 level. The class hasn’t formally decided how the scholarship will be used, but they hope that the students who benefit will be committed to nursing, to laughing with their classmates, and to keeping the school of nursing faculty on their toes by asking important, even if challenging, questions.
