One of UC Davis medical students’ biggest supporters

was longtime Leadership Council member Hank Fisher,

who passed away in August 2006. Fisher was

instrumental in starting the Leadership Council

Scholarship Endowment Fund.

“Hank was very interested in helping young UC Davis

medical students who needed financial support to

get through medical school,” said his wife, Nancy.

“He would become very emotional when reading

scholarship applications from medical students. He just

couldn’t believe how some applicants had overcome

incredible challenges in their lives and still had the

drive to go through medical school.”

Fisher’s goal was to continue to build the Scholarship

Endowment Fund so that many more UC Davis medical

students could receive considerable tuition assistance.

“Hank worked hard to build the fund to what it is

today,” Nancy said. “He would be so pleased and

proud to see how the fund is becoming a significant

source of support for them.” n
