Hunter College to Establish the Evelyn Lauder Community Care Nurse
Hunter College of the City University of New York has announced the establishment of the Evelyn Lauder Community Care Nurse
Hunter College of the City University of New York announced today that it had received the largest gift in its history – a $52 million donation from billionaire philanthropist Leonard A. Lauder, chairman emeritus of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.
The gift, made in honor of Mr. Lauder’s late wife Evelyn Lauder, who was a Hunter College alumna, will be used to establish the Evelyn Lauder Community Care Nurse Practitioner Program at Hunter College.
“Evelyn Lauder was an extraordinary person who lived the Hunter motto, mihi cure future—the care of the future is mine. I was proud to have called her a dear friend,” said Jennifer J. Raab, president of Hunter College, in the college’s news release. “She epitomized generations of hardworking Hunter students who used their gifts to help others. We are honored to establish the Evelyn Lauder Community Care Nurse Practitioner Program, which will transform the lives of our nursing students, and, working with New York Health + Hospitals, bring expanded access and excellence in health care to all New Yorkers. Leonard Lauder has our deepest thanks for this groundbreaking gift to a public institution and his trusted counsel through the years.”
