This bursary was established in memory of Evelyn (Marsh) Robbins by her sons Glenn (B.Comm.’85) and Peter (B.Eng.’91) and her husband Ernest to continue Evelyn’s belief that everyone should have an opportunity to reach their full potential. Evelyn (Marsh) Robbins grew up in Point Leamington and lived most of her life in Grand Falls-Windsor. She graduated from the General Hospital School of Nursing in 1958 and wherever she worked (Grand Falls Hospital, Central Newfoundland Public Health, Carmelite Seniors Home) people were touched by her care and compassion. Throughout her professional career and volunteer activities Evelyn would often discreetly reach out to help when she saw someone struggling, whether it was to provide basic necessities or to help them address some of life’s other challenges.
