“It was like, ‘Whoa, there are actually leaves on those trees,’” she said.

Greater Gift, a nonprofit organization based in Winston-Salem, established the Mary Hofmann Murphy Scholarship at Durham Technical Community College to impact students enrolled in the Clinical Trials Research Associate program. The first three recipients were named earlier this month: Danielle Anderson, Courtney Marshall, and Consuela Newman.
The mission of Greater Gift is to increase awareness of clinical research, especially among underrepresented communities, to improve health. In November 2020, Greater Gift established its first scholarship to address the lack of diversity among leaders in the clinical trial industry – named in honor of Mary Hofmann Murphy for her passion for improving diversity and the need for the research industry to be reflective of the populations that research aims to serve.

Telicia Hunter, then-Curriculum Developer for Biotechnology courses at Durham Tech, said it was a challenge, but she was up for it.
“All of a sudden, all eyes were on biotechnology – the College president, Durham and Orange Counties, the Back-to-Work Initiative, the BULLS Initiative. Covid brought a lot of awareness into our industry and companies were reaching out to us needing people trained and ready to work,” she said.
