The late Mildred \u201cMillie\u201d Loughlin Kahane was from humble means and was the first in her family to attend college. Her ability to attend Adelphi was made possible because of a scholarship. One of the University\u2019s original U.S. nurse cadets, she went on to become the first executive director of the Alaska Board of Nursing. Kahane also worked for Kaiser Permanente in Sacramento, California, and served as a faculty member at UC Davis, where she helped develop the nurse practitioners program and was one of the early pioneers of community health nursing.<\/p>\n
A trailblazer in her field, Kahane credited her scholarship for enabling her to earn a degree and fulfill her career aspirations. That gratitude was the impetus for her to pay it forward, supporting Adelphi and its students by establishing several endowments in her lifetime.<\/p>\n
