Bruce Davis retired from Germanna Community College after 20 years and will now use his fundraising skills for Mary Washington Healthcare.

Davis retired from his job as head of Germanna's Educational Foundation and Gullickson's Special Assistant for Institutional Development on March 1 to take a volunteer position replacing Ron Branscome as Chairman of the Board of Trustees at Mary Washington Healthcare, a $1 billion health system with two hospitals and 42 additional facilities across the Fredericksburg region.

"Bruce brought more than fundraising skills to his job as he led efforts to build the Stafford Center in North Stafford and a health science building in Locust Grove," said Germanna Community College President Janet Gullickson in a press release. "He also brought a huge heart with a deep well of empathy for our students. His sense of genuine caring opened doors for students even in difficult economic times like the pandemic. Because of his commitment to students and passion for the work, Bruce succeeded in doing much more than allowing Germanna to expand. He allowed us to help students in need not only with money to help them cover tuition payments but also with basic needs like car repairs and gas and food."
