CHPS Faculty Senate Award (FSA) for Service (nomination)

The nomination for the Faculty Senate Award in Service within the Department of Nursing is for recognition to a sustained commitment to serving the department, college, university, and its students. The service I was nominated for was driven by a strong dedication to student success and the advancement of the nursing profession. My efforts were centered on creating a supportive and empowering environment both in-class and out-of-class. Service also reflected on the belief that student well-being and professional readiness are essential to the future of nursing. While I was not ultimately selected as the final award recipient, it was truly an honor to be nominated by my peers. The experience gave me the opportunity to reflect on the ways I’ve been able to contribute and reminded me that service (much of which is behind the scenes) can have a lasting impact. Being considered for this recognition has strengthened my motivation to continue serving with purpose and to continue advocating for students and faculty.
