Family and friends in honor of Dr. Kimberly A. Russell

This scholarship was established in 2015 to honor Dr. Kimberly A. Russell, for her many accomplishments during her 16-year tenure at Tyler Junior College. Under her guidance, TJC has developed an Advancement Office that is considered a national leader. Dr. Russell was instrumental in the development of the renowned Robert M. Rogers Nursing & Health Sciences Center on TJC’s campus, and she requested that this scholarship benefit those accepted into one of TJC’s nursing or health sciences programs.

Funded by the generosity of family and friends, it honors her legacy at TJC and recognizes her appointment as Chancellor of Louisiana State University – Eunice, which began in September of 2015.
