Dana Jean ZimmermanDana Jean Zimmerman graduated from UNCA in 1989 with a degree in Economics. She was president of the UNCA Economics Club and a member of the Chancellor's Colloquium, a group of student ambassadors for the campus. She worked part-time throughout her studies at UNCA. She volunteered at the American Red Cross regularly and was active in her church with many social and spiritual activities. After graduating from UNCA, she attended Mercer University in Macon, Georgia where she earned her Jurist Doctorate. She was a practicing attorney in Dallas, Texas when an accident took her life. Her giving nature, which maintained and fostered many friends here at UNCA, is perhaps her great legacy to the university. Her tireless work in the various groups with which she was involved, spirited many of us to work alongside her and marvel at her energy. She loved the faculty here as well as the many friends she made, many of whom she remained in contact with throughout her life. The Dana Zimmerman Service Award, given annually, creates a legacy for fostering the volunteer spirit that Dana typified during her lifetime in education, religion, community service and excellence in studies. Remembering her and rewarding what we see of her spirit in others by this simple award will remind us all of her life well lived. A dear friend, daughter, and notable student, known not only for whom she was, but how she made us all better by having known her and makes us all better by knowing of her.
