This year unfolds new beginnings.  Our School of Nursing (SON) leaders established this organization based on the virtues of love, dedication, fortitude, and honor.  Their bold actions reflect who we are and where we are today.

I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue this legacy by leading this organization.  I am committed to drawing on the established excellence to move our collective efforts in achieving our vision.  We are to crystalize this aspiration by “Soaring High to Excellence Together”.  We shall prod into more meaningful and in-depth endeavors toward transformational impact in areas of curriculum and instruction, research, service learning, and holistic student development.

The current pandemic still remains daunting, and we are cognizant that it has created new imperatives for nursing education. It has led to innovative paradigm shifts in teaching with the advent of digital learning spaces, which more than ever, posed unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Understanding our roles as key players is vital. That being said, let me recognize and deeply appreciate the unparalleled accomplishments of our teachers, staff, and students who dared to brave the storm of academic disruption. To date, they press on to exude exemplary resiliency, flexibility, and adaptiveness.

On a final note, let me encourage everyone to contribute to making a collective impact on those we teach, those we influence, those we care for and serve, and the nursing profession.

I am very much delighted and grateful for the tremendous support and warm welcome.
