Festive fundraiser a great success at vineyard fair
A festive fundraiser and perfect summer day drew supporters of the Pamela Harris endowed nursing scholarship to the Vineyard Fair at Lawton Winery in Newberg, July 18. Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing alumni, students, friends and former and current faculty and staff gathered for the event, hosted by Harris, along with Robin and Keith Lawton.
Guests enjoyed live music, crafts and wine tasting, raising over $1,800 through individual contributions and from a portion of craft sale proceeds. “My intention is to grow the endowed scholarship so it will eventually support more students,” said Harris, dean emerita of Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing.

Bonnie Saucier to serve as interim director
Upon David Groff's retirement June 30, Linfield College appointed Dr. Bonnie Saucier as interim director of the Portland Campus. Dr. Saucier will continue to serve as dean of Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing in addition to serving as interim director.
Dr. Saucier is also a member of the Portland Task Force, which is investigating ways Linfield can continue to capitalize on its two unique campus locations. "Linfield has a great opportunity to consider potential benefits to all students of having a Portland location, given the city's many business and cultural connections and amenities," said Saucier.
