James Nehring, Assistant professor, Graduate School of Education
Inspired by the love and sacrifice of three very important women in his life, each of whom provided long-term care for loved ones, Prof. James Nehring of the Graduate School of Education bicycled across the United States to help establish the Mary, Joan and Nancy Scholarship for Courage and Compassion. In the name of Mary, his mother; Joan, his mother-in-law; and Nancy, his good friend, Nehring completed the last part of his 4,000-mile bike ride this past summer to endow a scholarship for first-generation UMass Lowell students who aspire to become teachers. Along the way, he checked in with
faculty, family and friends. His greetings from Glasgow, Mont., read: “All is well at the end of day seven on the road. I had a tailwind all the way through North Dakota and averaged over 100 miles a day. Headwind first two days in Montana and I’m averaging 60!” Thanks to the contributions of so many donors—the power of one making a tremendous collective difference—Nehring surpassed his $25,000 fundraising goal. Please visit the UMass Lowell website if you wish to see this vital scholarship grow for aspiring teachers: www.uml.edu/advancement/maryjoannancy. 19
