About the Donor	Her father, M.J. Gerrow, always enjoyed studying and continuously learning. To pay tribute to him when he passed away, Vicki Cubitt and her family decided to donate to Ontario Tech. They set up a bursary for third-year students pursuing a Bachelor of Nursing Science degree who exhibit strong leadership and problem-solving skills, as well as excellent bedside care. Mr. Gerrow, one of Canada’s first nursing administrators, always believed that a good nurse never lost the art or interest in direct patient care. Even on his busiest days he took the time to talk to patients to ensure they were receiving the best possible clinical and compassionate care.
