Lura Hanekamp was part of the COM family for 30 years. She served as an Administrative Assistant in the Department of Physiology until her untimely death in 2010. Her husband, William J. Hanekamp, created an endowment in honor of his late wife to acknowledge and recognize COM staff, like Lura, who dedicate their careers to serving fellow staff, students and faculty.

This permanently endowed fund at the University of Arizona Foundation is designed to help support the COM staff awards in perpetuity by Mr. Hanekamp.
