Would you like to impact College of Nursing students?
Mary A. Maher founded the College of Nursing, and as our first Dean, she established and grew the UMass Nursing program by leaps and bounds. She was our fearless leader and she introduced the state’s first public higher institution baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs at UMass.
Dean Maher led by example and showed us that one person can make a difference. Today, you can create your own impact and legacy through the Mary Maher Monthly Giving Society.
Students will be thankful to receive:
Why monthly giving?
“I give on a monthly basis for a few reasons. First of all, I loved my years at UMass Amherst and have many fond memories! I very much value the education I received and the career opportunities for which I was well prepared. It enabled me to support my family when faced with my husband’s illness, and a subsequent period of financial loss and hardship, as well as our desire to assist our daughter with her education and wedding, all while preparing for our eventual retirement. I am not in a position to make a large donation, but by setting up monthly giving, I am able to make a more substantial contribution over time to give back to the UMass Amherst College of Nursing.”
Mary Lussier-Cushing “Cooky” ‘76
