The award, according to the organization, exists to “honor the super-human work nurses do for patients and families every day.” The school recognized both a faculty member and a student as DAISY Award winners: Jennifer Walsh, a GW Nursing faculty member (right), and Kerre Aufsesser, an Accelerated B.S.N. student who received her award at graduation.

Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement The center saw a leadership transition this year, with Tony Yang taking over from Jean Johnson, who was serving as interim executive director. Dr. Yang’s scholarship explores the effects of law and policy on health care delivery and population health outcomes, and he is a prolific voice in the media. Since taking the helm, Dr. Yang has continued to raise the center’s profile as a destination for those interested in serious, in-depth explorations of health policy. Through a combination of research, advocacy and outreach, the center is engaged in the meaningful work of advancing policy and the health of the public through education, research, media and public forums. Center for Aging, Health and Humanities Health Policy Leadership Lecture Series These lectures bring to campus notable leaders in the health care field, from U.S. Surgeon General Vice Admiral Jerome M. Adams (pictured) to Victor Dzau, president of the National Academy of Medicine. Bringing leaders in their field to discuss serious issues facing the U.S. health care system is not only a boon to the school’s faculty, but also allows for a free exchange of ideas that could lead to the next breakthrough research collaboration. The CAHH saw an addition to its leadership this year with Melissa Batchelor-Murphy joining Beverly Lunsford as co-director of the center. Dr. Batchelor-Murphy has worked as an administrative nurse in skilled nursing homes and practiced as a family nurse practitioner (FNP) across long-term care settings. Her research, focusing on patients with dementia, has been supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars program, and the National Institute of Health/National Institute for Nursing Research. Co-sponsored Lecture: Dr. Terry Fulmer The center co-sponsored a lecture by Dr. Terry Fulmer, president of The John A. Hartford Foundation, in partnership with the Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement. Dr. Fulmer emphasized the need for aging-friendly health care systems to accomodate an aging populace and address the prevalence of chronic disease. Community and Global Initiatives GW Nursing established new global partnerships this year with peer institutions in Slovenia, Budapest and Costa Rica, offering opportunities to collaborate on a number of scholarly activities, such as faculty and student exchanges, research collaborations, and new global experiences for students. These three join the school’s other global partners in Ecuador, Haiti, Uganda and South Korea. The school’s growing portfolio of global academic partners allows GW Nursing to offer enriching global experiences for students, as well as new opportunities for faculty with global research interests. Community Engagement Day Community partners from across the Washington, D.C., metro area, and GW and local care providers came together in February to share ideas and success stories for relationship-building initiatives at an event themed “It Takes a Community!” Hosted by GW Nursing, the event aimed to align the goals of our community partners and faculty to better serve the health and well-being of the Washington, D.C., community. This was the inaugural community engagement event, but the organizers in Community and Global Initiatives have said they plan to make it an annual occurrence. Faculty, Staff and Scholarship 11
