Legacy Walk on Guardian Plaza

I am thrilled to share that Legacy Walk on Guardian Plaza, located between Fagin Hall and Stemmler-Chance, is now open. The space was formally dedicated by Rosemarie Greco, chair of Penn Nursing’s Board of Overseers, on Friday, June 4th, with the following language:

Legacy Walk on Guardian Plaza

This plaque proudly dedicates Legacy Walk,
a tangible reminder of those who laid the groundwork
for the future of nursing at the University of Pennsylvania.
Built on the legacy of both Philadelphia General Hospital
and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing,
may Legacy Walk be a steadfast representation of
Penn Nursing’s stalwart tradition
of excellence in nursing and healthcare.

Dedicated June 4, 2010

Along with Penn Nursing alumni, donors and friends, many of our staff and faculty have purchased or contributed to an engraved paver in Legacy Walk. The pavers were installed earlier this month and honor many loved ones, colleagues and friends. I invite you to spend time reading the pavers and benches. Being in the space is a wonderful reminder of the history of the location and carries a deep sense of legacy and strength for our future.
