The Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards Celebration
The Faculty of Nursing began its successful recognition program in 2011 with generous support from Covenant Health, Canada’s largest Catholic health-care provider. In 2017, our team of committed committee volunteers re-envisioned the program and have renamed it The Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards.
These awards will continue to recognize the hard work, commitment and success of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and community partners in whom we take great pride.
On May 9, 2017, during National Nursing Week, the nominees and recipients of the 2017 Faculty of Nursing Pursuit of Excellence Awards were recognized at a luncheon in the Senate Room at Hotel Alma. Arielle Manzano, president of the Undergraduate Nursing Society (UNS) was emcee and Dean Dianne Tapp delivered welcoming remarks as well as presented the awards. More than 60 attendees came out to celebrate at the event this year.
Thanks once again to our awards committee, volunteers and everyone who submitted a nomination this year!
