Why do/did you give to NSU?

As an alumna who was granted a full scholarship to attend NSU, I have a fiduciary duty to contribute to NSU’s growth and uphold its mission. As a result, in 2017, I established the Lorie McCowan Endowment at NSU. The fund was established to provide financial assistance to NSU students reared in single-parent homes and majoring in Accountancy.
