Scholarships Reflect Donor’s Dedication and Values
Posted March 14, 2019
Jackie Johnsen Hammer, whose father, Norman Johnsen, played an important role in establishing SIUE, has strengthened her ties to the University by creating two scholarships.
In honor of her late husband, Hammer created the Jeffrey S. Hammer, MD, Memorial Scholarship. Jeffrey was a prominent psychiatrist in the region and a leader in healthcare informatics who took photographs at local events to financially support himself through medical school. The scholarship in his honor is available for undergraduate or graduate students majoring in art and design with a focus in photography/digital arts.
A second scholarship, the Jackie Johnsen Hammer and Jeffrey Hammer Memorial Scholarship, will be created through a planned gift to support graduate students majoring in healthcare informatics.
