Contributing to Community
My family always gave to community with heart, time, and treasure and taught me by example to follow their footsteps.
​
I founded the Karen Dunning Fund Endowment at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in 1995. It has provided annual scholarships in the Women and Gender Studies department. I have been blessed to attend several annual ceremonies and meet the worthy recipients. It is a great honor to play a part.
