University of Evansville Receives $147,000 Bequest to Support Carson Center and Establish Nursing Scholarship
Evansville, Ind. (12/16/2024) — The University of Evansville (UE) is pleased to announce a generous $147,000 bequest from the estate of Marjorie A. Vogel, a 1945 alumna. This contribution will support the upkeep of Carson Center's athletic facilities and establish the Marjorie Vogel Endowed Scholarship in Nursing.
Ms. Vogel earned her bachelor's degree from UE's Dunigan Family School of Nursing and dedicated over 30 years to serving the local medical community, concluding her career at UE's Student Health Clinic. A devoted fan of UE men's basketball, she rarely missed a home game.
In her gift, Marjorie recognized the value of excellent athletic facilities for student-athletes by directing a portion of the funds to maintain Carson Center. The remainder will create an endowed nursing scholarship, reflecting her own experiences in UE's nursing program and her commitment to helping future students in need.
The University is deeply thankful for Ms. Vogel's generosity, which will benefit both student-athletes and aspiring nurses for years to come.
The University of Evansville is a private, comprehensive university with a solid foundation in the arts and sciences and professional schools in business, engineering, education, and health sciences. Established in 1854, UE is recognized across the globe for its rich tradition of innovative, academic excellence and dynamic campus community of #Changemakers.
Home of the Purple Aces, UE is located in the southwestern region of Indiana and offers over 75 majors, 17 Division I sports, and a unique study abroad experience at Harlaxton, the University's very own Victorian manor located in the countryside of England.
