MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN Dear Alumni, Faculty and Friends: This past year, the School of Nursing celebrated a century of truly astonishing achievement. It’s not hard to see, on a day-to-day basis, the extraordinary impact the school has on the lives of individuals in the Bay Area and beyond. But this Centennial year, as the school received dozens of tributes from civic leaders and organizations across the country, I realized just how deeply our contributions reverberate throughout California, the nation, and communities the world over. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for example, marked the occasion by submitting a Record Statement to the Congressional Archives recognizing the accomplishments of UCSF graduates around the globe. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein sent us official messages for the Centennial Gala on June 9. Mayor Gavin Newsom declared “UCSF Nursing Day” in San Francisco. And, one of our alumnae, Associate Dean Emerita Marilyn Flood ’69, chronicled the school’s remarkable history in her book, Promise on Parnassus: The First Century of the UCSF School of Nursing. Most humbling of all, however, has been the steadfast support of you, our donors. Many of you took time out from your busy lives, and funds from your often modest budgets, to support the school’s mission. Your response is heartwarming and has further energized our commitment to carry our tradition of excellence into the next century. As we move into a new era of nursing at UCSF, major challenges await: expanding our educational programs in order to attract a more diverse group of women and men to the profession; continuing to redefine nursing research, especially in the areas of patient safety, translational research, and symptom management; and – perhaps most urgently – ameliorating the nursing crisis that has the nation, and especially this state, in its grip. We could not be here today without your partnership. Nor could we look to tomorrow without your sustained dedication and support. As always, I am deeply grateful.
