Students fund scholarship in memory of shootings

Students in the College of Nursing are honoring the memory of three professors who were killed by a former student two years ago by raising money to contribute to a scholarship in memory of the professors.

On Oct. 28, 2002, Robert S. Flores Jr., a student who was distraught over failing grades and problems at home, entered the office of professor Robin E. Rogers and shot her multiple times, killing her. He then moved to a classroom full of students taking a midterm and shot and killed professors Barbara Monroe and Cheryl McGaffic.

Mulvany has recorded double-digit digs 12 times this season and averages 3.05 digs per game. She has also led the team in digs 12 times – including in eight of nine Pacific 10 Conference matches. [Read article]
