2011 Angeline
Gale Memorial Scholarship Awarded
Many qualified applicants competed for our
Angeline Gale Memorial Scholarship. The 2011 Angeline Gale Memorial Scholarship was
awarded this year by the Naperville Area AAUW to Dawn Samet who is completing
her nursing degree at the College of DuPage.
Ms. Samet, a Naperville resident, wife and mother of three, made the
decision to change careers after the birth of her second daughter. Although successful in her career as a sales
and marketing professional, Ms. Samet’s journey navigating the healthcare
system for her daughter’s special needs inspired her to follow her heart and
become a nurse. She was accepted into
COD’s competitive nursing program and rearranged her life to juggle her family,
job and school.
