The Awards Committee wishes to thank all the faculty, students, and staff who submitted nominations for the spring 2019 college of nursing awards.

This was a highly competitive process this spring and we join with all our colleagues in congratulating the winners as well as all those that were nominated.

In April, the Faculty Governance Steering Committee approved appointment of an ad-hoc faculty governance committee to work on holistic admissions for all programs at the College of Nursing. The ad-hoc committee is formed of all interested faculty, staff, program directors, administrators, and students. The chairs are Janet Katz for faculty and Wendy-Williams-Gilbert for administration. The first meetings were held April 8 and April 15. We had more than 20 attendees representing all employee categories, program specialties, and campus locations. Minutes from those meetings are on the intranet under FGO and then Holistic Admissions.

Today’s thought: Continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection!
