Ten years ago, the family of Barbara J. Curran Golby decided to honor her memory by establishing an annual scholarship for students who are studying to be certified nursing assistants or CNAs.
Recently, family members decided to make additional contributions so that the scholarship through the Black Hawk College East Foundation would be endowed.
“That way, the scholarship, and our mother’s memory, will live on for many years and help those who need it,” said her son, Marty Golby.
The new, endowed Barbara J. Curran Golby Memorial Healthcare Scholarship is a $500 award available to students in the college’s Basic Nurse Assistant Training Program as well as nursing students.

Voters Tuesday will be asked to choose from four candidates who are running for the three open seats for the Black Hawk College Board of Trustees.

Kimberly Stevens is the owner and operator of Stevens Veterinary Clinic in Galva.
She says owning an animal-based clinic so close to the college has given her great insight into how the college interacts with the community. She said owning the business for the past 10 years has given financial management insights that will also be useful.
