Baltimore Family Establishes $1.3 Million School of
Nursing Doctoral Fellowship

Baltimore community patrons Clair Zamoiski Segal and
Thomas "Tommy" H. Segal have established a $1 million Johns
Hopkins University
School of Nursing endowment in honor of Clair Segal's
mother, Ellen Levi Zamoiski. The Ellen Levi Zamoiski
Doctoral Fellowship, the first of its kind in doctoral
education at the School of Nursing, will be supported over
the initial 10 years by a $30,000 annual gift from the
Segals.
"This remarkable gift recognizes the near-crisis state
in the shortage of rising nurse educators who teach our
future nurses," SON Dean Martha Hill said. "As we move ever
faster toward the head-on collision of a nationwide nursing
shortage and a growing aging population, those of us in
nursing education ask more than Who will care for us? We
also ask, Who will educate those who will care for us? The
Segals' generosity will help Hopkins, the School of Nursing
and the nation answer that question."
The first recipient of the Ellen Levi Zamoiski
Doctoral Fellowship is Jessica Roberts, who currently is
pursuing a combined master's in nursing and public health
and a doctorate in nursing. Roberts is from Wintergarden,
Fla., and is a 2003 graduate of the University of Florida
with a B.S. in nursing and a B.A. in sociology. She also is
the recipient of a National Institute of Nursing Research
predoctoral fellowship in violence research and is a member
of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.
In co-curricular activities, Roberts is the immediate past
president of the JHUSON Graduate Student Organization.
According to the Segals, Roberts is the embodiment of
why they are establishing the endowment. Clair Zamoiski
Segal said that she and Tommy are "honored to be
instrumental in bringing to doctoral nursing education a
future leader like Jessica. The high caliber of expertise
she and future Zamoiski Fellows will bring to the field
will honor my mother in her lifetime and ultimately will
create an impressive cadre of the best of Hopkins
Nursing."
