Bobbie Atkinson, the namesake and treasurer of the Bobbie A. Atkinson Foundation, recently visited Texas A&M University-Texarkana to deliver a check for $5,000. The donation is the second installment toward a $25,000 pledge toward the Master of Science in nursing program at the university.
The first classes for students pursuing the degree are being offered this fall and the university expects approval on the degree plan later this year, said Dr. Jo Kahler, dean, College of Health and Behavioral Sciences.
