Davenport University’s Jenny Thurber, director of student services, Lansing campus, has earned two prestigious honors from the National Association of Career Women (NACW): the Lansing Chapter’s Woman of the Year Award and the organization’s overall National Woman of the Year Award.
Thurber has been a board member and active member of NACW since 2014. She was honored for her leadership, volunteering and community service and her passion to inspire, mentor and support others.
Susan Porrett, Davenport Lansing Campus director, is a past recipient of the chapter award. Porrett nominated Thurber for the honor.
“I am honored to work with Jenny,” Porrett said. “She is committed to making a difference and improving the lives of those around her. She’s an inspiration.”
The Founding Chapter of the National Association of Career Women awards scholarships to women who are working toward the academic portion of either a new career or to further their current career. The scholarship program was established in honor of one of the NACW’s founders, the late Harriett E. Pincumbe, who founded NACW in Lansing with Priscilla Petersen and Sandra Frauenheim.
