About Karen Gable

The cornerstone of Professor Emerita Karen Gable's academic leadership as director of the health occupations/sciences education programs was her intense commitment to student success. She worked tirelessly to accommodate her students' unique needs while maintaining high academic expectations. As a result, her students were expertly prepared for careers in the complex health science community, and they continue to remember Gable fondly.

In 2014, when a group of alumni from the B.S. and M.S. programs wished to honor her legacy, she reaffirmed her commitment to student success by endowing the Dr. Karen Gable Health Sciences Scholarship and challenged the alumni to join her in supporting the next generation of health care professionals.
