Hard as it is for me to believe, I will retire from Seattle University at the end of this Academic Year. On July 1, 2023 I will step into my ‘preferment.’ It has been an amazing career filled with many blessings (albeit some of those blessings were well-disguised as challenges in their initial presentation). I have served as Dean of the College of Nursing for just under nine years. It has been a joy and honor to be part of a faculty and staff who are so deeply committed to pursuing our mission to educate and inspire leaders to transform health care for a just and humane world. Even more gratifying is witnessing the grit, passion and resilience of our students and graduates, especially during the challenges of the past three years.
