Commonly when donations come through, many people think about where the money will be put towards, while others celebrate. Executive assistant to the president of HCC, Steve Fast, stated it was something that came out an estate trust that the campus’s nonprofit foundation was able to administer.
Students and faculty celebrated the donation with Bud and Fran’s son, Jim Davis. With Bud and Fran Davis, the donators of the gift, some will wonder why it was given. The story is, years ago, when Bud was in the hospital, he had nursing students or nurses who attended HCC help him. Because of the care Bud received while in the hospital he decided to give back to the nursing program at Heartland.
With the help of this donation, faculty will be able to better prep their future nurses. HCC gave out thirty eight associates degree’s in nursing last year.
