In 1982, second-year Nursing student Anne-Marie Howlett was living her dream pursuing a college diploma in a profession she was passionate about and could not wait to start practicing. In the Fall of 1982, her life was tragically cut short at 19 years of age when she was fatally struck by a car as she rushed to class. The loss was devastating to her family and friends, to the Nursing Department and to the College.
The Howlett family decided that Anne-Marie’s mission was not over. She would continue to live through a memorial award in her name. This fund provides two annual $1,000 bursaries to two nursing students in financial need who share Anne-Marie’s passion for the profession.
