Alma mater Quote by Diana Palmer
“College was an experience I'll always cherish. Now I fund a scholarship at my alma mater in my late father's name-he'd laugh to know that it's a science scholarship, when I can barely do math! I also fund a nursing scholarship at the Oglala Lakota College in Kyle, South Dakota, in the name of my mother, who was a nurse.”

![“I cast people from right around me. I was at my alma mater. It's special to have most of the graduate students in it [and] one professor, because I feel like in terms of this school, I was one of the few students lucky enough to break into the art industry or the contemporary art world.” quote by Kalup Linzy](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/71e/kalup-linzy-20386_actor_i-cast-people-from-right-around-me-i-was_524503.jpg)
