ANA honors two Emeriti Deans

What an incredible honor - our Emeriti Faculty and Emeriti Deans continue to bring distinction to our School!

On Friday, the School of Nursing’s third Dean – Dr. Claire M. Fagin was honored by the American Nurses Association when she was inducted into their Hall of Fame for her lifelong commitment to nursing and impact on health in the U.S. Dr. Fagin was also honored on May 16 at the graduation ceremonies for Syracuse University where she received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. Brava Claire!

Also on Friday, Norma M. Lang, our fourth Dean, was honored by the American Nurses Association with the first ANA President’s Award for her significant contributions to the advancement of nursing and for positively influencing public perception of the value of nursing. Brava Norma!

Please join us in paying tribute to these phenomenal leaders in nursing who continue to affect nursing and healthcare. I am privileged to have followed in their Dean footsteps. I know you join me in congratulating and thanking these important nurse leaders that are paving the way for the future of nursing.
