She hopes to work as a public health nurse after graduating from BCCC. She and her husband, Ronnie, have two children.

Ward, 30, of New Bern, left, is pursuing an associate’s degree in applied science from BCCC. She is a graduate of New Bern High School. Ward is the daughter of Bobbie Ward of New Bern and Thomas Green of Riverside, California. She hopes to work at a local hospital and continue her education to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing after graduating from BCCC.

The Lane Endowment was established in 1997 in memory of Harold Alton Lane Jr. and in honor of Constance Lane Howard by their parents, Harold and Louise Lane. Scholarships are awarded annually to nursing or other associate degree students enrolled at BCCC.
