College Announces $100,000 Gift to Establish Endowed Scholarship in the Sciences
Campus News
Franklin College has announced a $100,000 gift establishing the Dr. Barbara Hummel Weil ’47 Memorial Scholarship.
The endowed scholarship was established by Dr. Edward D. Weil in memory of his deceased wife Barbara Hummel Weil, a 1947 Franklin College alumna.
Barbara grew up in Marion, Ind., and enrolled at Franklin College to study chemistry, a field few women at that time explored. Overcoming that challenge, as well as the physical and social challenges of blindness in one eye caused by a childhood illness, she persevered and earned a graduate fellowship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1953 and married her husband, Edward, also a chemistry fellow.

Campus News
The Franklin College Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies Program hosted its White Coat Ceremony on Friday, Dec. 18, 2020. The college’s cohort of 24 PA students from the class of 2022 received their white coats and recited a medical oath during a unique Zoom ceremony, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Family members enjoyed the honor of presenting the students with their white coats.
The ceremony is a rite of passage welcoming students into healthcare practice by providing a white coat symbolizing professionalism and humanistic patient care. At Franklin College, it marks the transition from the didactic year to the clinical year and the beginning of clinical rotations. It is the halfway mark of the 25-month, full-time program.
