The school’s highest honor recognizes alumnae for shaping the future of nursing through education, research, policy, and practice in celebration of 135th anniversary.
The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) has named five alumnae as its newest Visionary Pioneers, the school’s highest alumni honor, recognizing their significant impact on, and contributions to, the field of nursing based on their leadership, innovation, or entrepreneurship.
The 25 inaugural Visionary Pioneers were named in 2014 during the school’s 125th anniversary celebration. Every five years, five additional Visionary Pioneers are inducted.
The new Visionary Pioneers join 30 previously recognized alumni who have rendered distinctive service to nursing and health care through clinical practice, education, and research.
The newest Visionary Pioneers will be inducted at UMSON’s 135th anniversary gala, “Leaders Who Illuminate: Celebrating 135 Years and UMSON’s Visionaries” on Sept. 18 at The Winslow in Baltimore.
