2025 Recipients
Community House
A $2,100 Alumni Advisory Board Grant was awarded for outdoor improvements to the Community House. Enhancements like rocking chairs and plants created a welcoming space for students to meet, study, and socialize, supporting recruitment efforts by fostering a sense of community and providing a unique gathering spot for prospective students, families, and community members.
Anatomy Models
The Anatomy Models grant application requests funding to acquire updated anatomical models to strengthen hands-on learning in Wingate University’s Occupational Therapy department. Models such as the head, brain, eye, ear, spinal cord, and skeletons will support anatomy instruction across OT, PT, PA, and nursing programs. They will also be used during lab tours for visiting school and community groups, providing engaging demonstrations. These durable, reusable resources will enhance coursework and support continuing education for clinical instructors.
