<strong>Pennsylvania</strong> Governor Rendell<br />

Addresses 2007 Graduates<br />

It’s not <strong>of</strong>ten that a sitting governor gives the commencement address<br />

at a <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nursing</strong>. This year, however, was just that kind <strong>of</strong><br />

extraordinary time when <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> Governor Edward G. Rendell<br />

spoke before 323 graduates <strong>of</strong> BSN, MSN, and PhD programs, friends,<br />

family, faculty, and staff in the glittering Kimmel Center for the<br />

Performing Arts in Philadelphia.<br />

The Governor used the opportunity to discuss key elements <strong>of</strong> a<br />

sweeping healthcare reform plan, now being used as a model in other<br />

states, to give uninsured <strong>Pennsylvania</strong>ns<br />

greater access to healthcare<br />

by among other measures, breaking<br />

down legislative barriers to nursing<br />

practice.<br />
