It’s been an exciting, energetic, and enriching time for me since stepping into the Deanship of the College of Nursing last July. I’ve gotten better acquainted with faculty and staff throughout our college and the university, and have had wonderful opportunities to engage with our students. Everyone has made settling in easy and enjoyable. I’m so appreciative of the continued warmth and ready assistance extended by all. I can honestly say that I do not feel like I am new to Seattle University anymore. That said, I sincerely look forward to deeper engagement with all that Seattle University offers and greater rapport with all members of its community.
