Nancy Mills

CCLA is saddened to announce the passing of Nancy Mills. Nancy represented the essence and core of a Cornell Alumnus in Southern California. Along with her husband, Bart Mills, Nancy held nearly every position on the board of directors and was a board member for over 30 years. Among her many roles and positions, she served as President, Secretary, Women's Business Liaison, Hollywood Liaison, Programming Chair, Scholarship Fundraising Chair, etc. Nancy was a founding member and was instrumental in establishing the Cornell Club of Los Angeles when the Cornell Alumni Association of Southern California split into LA and Orange County. Nancy was also instrumental in establishing the club's Tradition Scholarship Funds and the General Scholarship funds. She also helped organize the application and selection of scholarship recipients over the years.
