In honor of Karen Riley upon her departure as dean of the University of Denver’s Morgridge College of Education, Donne and Sue Fisher have given $2.5 million to DU to establish a scholarship fund. The Karen Riley Endowed Scholarship will support master’s students at Morgridge who are committed to teaching young children, and it carries on the Fishers’ longstanding commitment to early childhood education.
“We hope this scholarship can help teachers financially, particularly those who have the deepest need, as they train to teach the youngest children in our society,” says Donne Fisher. “Those teachers will go on to make a great difference. We are all better off when more children can receive a quality education.”

Travel companies have traditionally been able to predict busy and quiet periods. Not so in this year. Since March, waves of cancellations have reverberated sometimes with little notice because of rising infection rates, travel restrictions and state and local rules.
