New scholarship funds The Col. Isabelle Bagin Scholarship will support nursing students who are connected to the military. The Carla McManus and Carol Hopkins Memorial Scholarship will support a graduating high school senior planning to enroll at Cochise College. The Sisters of the Heart Fund will provide funding for students who need otherwise unattainable financial assistance in order to continue their education at Cochise College, or to take advantage of unforeseen opportunities in order to further their education or career goals. Jerry Harwood, right, wife of the late Bill Harwood, who served as Cochise College’s second president, recently returned to the college an artist’s rendering of downtown Bisbee that was given to her husband when he resigned from the college. After leaving Cochise, the Harwoods moved to California, where Bill joined another community college as president. Bill passed away in 2007, and Jerry resides in Bisbee. The artwork now hangs in the Administration Building at the Douglas Campus.

"Neither of my individual honors projects were assignments given to me by an instructor; they were my ideas that I had the opportunity to implement," she said. "I’d say the most challenging aspect of the Honors Program…is that there is no clear cut direction." Jackson's individual honors project built on her studies in British Literature and Utopia. Her fall 2010 project analyzed Shakespeare's “The Tempest” in terms of its utopic elements, which she connected to the second movement of Beethoven's “Sonata No. 17 in D Minor,” also performed on piano for class, at the colloquium, and at the Western Regional Honors Council Conference in Utah. Jackson is set to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business. Last summer, she participated in Vanguard's College to Corporate Internship and received an offer for Vanguard's Accelerated Development Program. She accepted and will begin that stage of her career this summer. "This is my absolute favorite part of teaching, to see students grow beyond their own expectations, then tearily send them into the world," Coyle laughed. "They make Cochise proud."
