Congratulations, Alumni!
Decked Out in Derby Dress
Derby hats were on display during the New Orleans Summer Social Derby- themed School of Nursing Alumni Association annual lunch this past summer. Jenna Martin, DNP, CRNA, Instructor of Nursing, (in red) received the 2017 Nursing Alumni Association Alumnus of the Year award at the event.
Stomping Out Pulmonary Hypertension
Alumni walked, danced and discoed their way around the beautiful Peristyle in City Park this spring for the third annual Mudbug March to Stomp Out Pulmonary Hypertension (PH). The event helped boost awareness of this incurable disease, educated people about good self-care and helped raise almost $12,000 to improve patient care, expand medical research and increase education about PH.
