Carol Sullivan created her own
UM-St. Louis legacy
Carol Sullivan, BSW 1982, fondly recalls her first social work course at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The class was a gateway to a career and an introduction to the professor who would become her mentor, Lois Pierce.
"I was impressed with Dr. Pierce immediately because of her style and the kindness she showed to her students," Carol said. "I felt she demonstrated excellent values in the way she worked with people, and that made me want to become a social worker."
So Carol endowed a scholarship in honor of Dr. Pierce. The scholarship will financially assist UM-St. Louis students who are pursuing a bachelor's degree in social work.
"I very much support the idea of estate planning and directing your money to a program you wish to fund," Carol said. "I established this endowment in Dr. Pierce's name not only for what she did for me when I was a student at UM-St. Louis, but also for what she has done for all social work students at the university."
