Ms. Jean Owens has been a dedicated supporter of FNU for more than 30 years, regularly giving to the annual fund. This spring, as the COVID-19 Pandemic took hold of the country, she was moved to make her first donation to FNU’s student emergency fund.
Now retired, Ms. Owens spent her career as a public servant in municipal government and water safety analysis. Her mother taught her the value of a dollar and not spending frivolously. She prefers, instead, to help others with her generosity and has demonstrated her appreciation for the mission and vision of FNU and its students.
“I appreciate what Frontier does and I am happy to support them,” Ms. Owens said. “I always wish them well in their work.”
Her gift of $55,000 to the student emergency fund supports FNU students in times of need caused by disasters, illnesses, or other extreme circumstances, enabling them to continue their studies. Her impact on these students is immeasurable, as is their impact on our nation’s healthcare system.
“Jean Owens has been a tremendous friend and supporter of Frontier for so many years,” FNU President Dr. Susan Stone said. “This donation to the student emergency fund is so impactful for students during their times of urgent, unforeseen need. It is a gift befitting of her amazing generosity and caring for others.”
