Jane Rogers, recipient of the Stephen Ruffins Memorial Scholarship, remembers its namesake. “Dr. Ruffins was one of my heroes at Fielding, as he demonstrated how persistence and a high level of expertise are some of the ingredients that help one to meet their life challenges. Keeping alive his memory and presence in the Psychodynamic orientation and the Clinical Psychology program validates how much he was admired and valued here. Thank you for making this one of the most meaningful experiences during my time at Fielding.”
Clinical Psychology students raised $6,350 for the Magic Feet Scholarship, which helps offset the costs of attending a national session. Magic Feet trophies were awarded to Ray Hawkins, PhD, and his Hawk’s Nest for raising the most funds, and to Minnesota ProSem for the most creative auction basket.
Alum & Trustee Makes Gift to Clinical Psychology
With heartfelt gratitude, the Clinical Psychology program thanks Fielding alumna and trustee Elizabeth A. Hardy, PhD ‘11 and her husband Mr. Rick Omlor for their generous contribution of $50,000. The donation is to support the Clinical Psychology program during the current COVID-19 crisis.
“During these times of extraordinary acts of kindness and support, it is a pleasure to accept such a gift on behalf of our Clinical Psychology program,” stated Katrina S. Rogers, Fielding President. “Societal circumstances have elevated the critical need for quality mental health professionals. As one of the largest APA-accredited clinical programs in the country, Fielding faculty fulfill our mission every day to place trained clinicians in all sectors of society. We are proud of this work, and are gratified by the support of Dr. Hardy and Mr. Omlor.”
Dr. Hardy and Mr. Omlor previously endowed the Dr. Sherry L. Hatcher Honorary Scholarship Fund, a prestigious merit-based endowed scholarship in honor of Dr. Hardy’s mentor at Fielding.
Dr. Hatcher shared: “Dr. Elizabeth Hardy is one of the most talented graduates I have had the honor to mentor in our Clinical Psychology program. She is a brilliant scholar, a dedicated practitioner and a truly lovely person. Dr. Hardy and her husband, Mr. Rick Omlor, are uncommonly generous people. They regularly support education projects of enormous benefit to students and both are involved in wide-ranging community service. We at Fielding are so fortunate to be part of their amazing friendship circle.”
