Advancing Careers within Cooper through the Linda Brand Scholarship Fund
The Linda Brand Scholarship Fund was established by Linda Brand, a dedicated Cooper team member, who spent her career at Cooper encouraging others to pursue their educational and career goals. Linda served Cooper for nearly 30 years in various non-clinical and administrative roles. Throughout her career she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to creating opportunities for others to advance both personally and professionally.
In 2023, Linda was diagnosed with a terminal form of pancreatic cancer.
The Linda Brand Scholarship Fund was created to fulfill Linda’s wish to carry on her vision of creating a pathway for Cooper employees to achieve their highest potential and help alleviate the financial barriers that can be a deterrent to pursuing higher goals.
Making a Difference
“I had the good fortune to have the right people – the right bosses – to help me grow my career [at Cooper] and I want to do the same for others. It’s a privilege to help employees become the best they can be. Just as we help our patients, we want to help our employees and this is my way of giving back for the last 30 years of my career, which has been one of the best portions of my life.”
