Delores Gail "Lorie" Cordle Scholarship

Lorie Cordle was a clinical laboratory scientist who worked in the blood center at University of Iowa Health Care for 29 years. During this time Lorie worked closely with the Clinical Laboratory Sciences program, first as a teaching technologist for students during their rotations in the blood center, and later as an instructor in the student lab. Upon her death in 1999, a fund was established by the Department of Pathology, Lorie’s co-workers and friends to assist students entering the field of clinical laboratory sciences. Two recipients were chosen from the Class of 2009 for their excellent academic progress and professionalism during the clinical rotation year.
