Their estate plans include a $500,000 endowment, which would significantly increase the amount and number of awards. Specifically, their interests are in colorectal, breast and uterine cancer due to their personal battles with these diseases. <\/p>\n<p>The deans of the UNMC colleges involved in cancer research, selected the student recipients based on need and scholastic achievement.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s recipients are: Jodi Alt (Eppley); Mahefatiana Andrianfahanana (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology); Michael Dixon (Eppley); Karl Kohlgraf (Eppley); Ming-Shuye Lee (Biochemistry and Molecular Biology); Troy Luster (Eppley); Swayam Prabha (Pharmaceutical Sciences); and Heth Turnquist (Eppley).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/HarrisaltWEB.jpg\" border=\"2\" align=\"left\"> Originally from Omaha, the Harrises have lived in San Diego since 1965. Norman Harris earned a bachelor of art&#8217;s degree from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1941 with a degree in political science. In 1993, he and his wife also received Honorary Doctorates of Human Letters from UNL. Until his retirement in 1973, Norman Harris managed a chain of retail discount stores. He then embarked on entrepreneurial adventures in real estate, franchising, accounting, tax preparation, banking and finance. He has been a University of Nebraska Foundation Trustee since 1993. <\/p>\n<p>An artist, Bernice Harris taught at the Golden Door Spa near San Diego for several years.
