news-category: Double Dawg Day Double Dawg Day Support on April 16 Helps ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb Students Like Amber Jimenez Build Their Future By Office of University Communications On April 12, 2026 First-Year Nursing Major Shares How Donor Generosity Shapes her Experience BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Gifts made on ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb University’s Double Dawg Day on Thursday, April 16, directly support the scholarships that help students succeed in the classroom and beyond. On this day, the GWU community will unite to support scholarships, academic programs, athletics and the hands-on experiences that shape the student journey. Such generosity is especially meaningful to first-year nursing major Amber Jimenez. Her scholarship allows her to advance toward her goals with confidence. She hopes donors will continue to support students like her. “Your donations, big or small, have a powerful impact and influence on all the students at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb,â€� Jimenez emphasized. “The donations allow students like me to further our educations and grow as people.â€� Jimenez first learned about ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb when representatives visited her high school. She said the University’s size, location and emphasis on hands-on learning appealed to her. Once on campus, she discovered a faculty invested in her success. “My professors are very supportive and helpful, giving me words of encouragement,â€� she praised. “Every faculty and staff member that I have met at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb has had an impact on me.â€� Among the faculty members who have shaped her experience, Jimenez said Emily Coggins, nursing instructor and clinical coordinator, has been especially instrumental. “She has taught me that although I am in the nursing program, I should still be able to enjoy and not miss out on important and special things in my life,â€� Jimenez reflected. Her passion for nursing comes from a long-standing desire to serve others. “I want to help people and make a positive impact in this world,â€� Jimenez stated. “Becoming a nurse will help me reach that goal.â€� She plans to pursue a career as either a nurse practitioner (NP) or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and hopes to continue her education in graduate school. Jimenez said she has also found meaningful support in her closest friendships. “My biggest support at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï-Webb has been my roommate and best friend,â€� she said. “Every huge milestone that I have had here at GWU, she was always there to witness it.â€� Amber Jimenez, left, and her friend, Kristen Wilson, take a break from studying. One of her most meaningful experiences has been connecting with donors during Philanthropy Week. “I was able to build such a meaningful and beautiful relationship with one of the donors and to this day, we are still in contact,â€� Jimenez said. “I am so grateful, blessed and honored to say this school has given me several opportunities to grow into the person I have always wanted to be.â€� Stories like Jimenez’s reflect the heart of Double Dawg Day—students whose opportunities, confidence and futures are strengthened by donor generosity.
