As many of you know, the Center for Gerontologic Nursing Science transitioned in the fall of 2009 to the Center for Integrative Science in Aging (CISA). Under the leadership of Director Dr. Kathy Richards and Associate Directors Drs. Lois Evans and Mary Ersek, CISA has created an exciting new strategic vision for aging science. In addition, the CISA houses the Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence (HCGNE), which was directed by Dr. Neville Strumpf until 2008, when she retired, after which time, Dr. Richards became Director, with Drs. Strumpf, Evans and Ersek as Associate Directors. On July 1, Dr. Strumpf will continue with her role as a faculty member in both Centers, continuing to work with pre- and post-doctoral scholars, and to consult on ongoing projects in the CISA and HCGNE.
Dr. Richards and I are pleased to announce that Dr. Eileen Sullivan-Marx has agreed to become an Associate Director for both the CISA and HCGNE. We look forward to her able guidance, mentorship, and future contributions to both Centers.
I, along with the leadership and faculty of CISA and HCGNE, thank Dr. Strumpf for her outstanding leadership, devotion, mentorship of students and faculty, and for her future contributions and consultations to the CISA, HCGNE, and School of Nursing.
In addition, I am also most grateful to Neville for agreeing to continue with the most critical role of facilitating our mentorship program which is vital for the school.
