Reunion 2011!
More than 140 alumni and guests gathered at the School of Nursing Saturday, April 30, to enjoy a special day of reuniting with classmates and reconnecting with UMSON. The day began with lively socializing over continental breakfast and coffee. Alumni had an opportunity to reminisce with Dean Emeritus Nan Hechenberger, PhD, RN, who traveled from Pennsylvania to share in the festivities.
Highlights of the program, emceed by Alumni Council President Deborah Schofield, DNP ’09, MS ’95, included Dean Janet Allan’s presentation on the State of the School and the induction of the 50th Anniversary Class of 1961 into the Heritage Class. Outgoing National Student Government Association President Nicole Brynes, BSN ’11, shared her nursing school experiences, which rekindled many fond memories from those in the audience. The 2011 Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Donna Havens, PhD ’91, a professor at the School of Nursing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She delivered an engaging presentation about how the research she conducted as a PhD student at UMSON influenced the direction of her future research interests and her professional career path. For more than 20 years, Dr. Havens has studied and published articles about the organization of nursing and outcomes in hospitals; the nursing work environment; nurse executive leadership, turnover, and outcomes; involvement of staff nurses in decision-making; magnet hospitals; and frontline staff engagement in quality and safety initiatives.
A luncheon, followed by tours of the UMSON Clinical Simulation Laboratories, the Living History Museum, and the Center of Excellence in Disorders of Neuroregulatory Function, topped off the day.
