President’s Newsletter - Fall 2009

Dear Delta Gamma Members,

Here are some Delta Gamma highlights since my last letter.

STTI Biennial Meeting
I had the privilege of representing Delta Gamma at the recent STTI Biennial meeting along with Lynn Carey from our Leadership Succession Committee. The theme was...

 I am a nurse… and I am a member of a global nursing community

It was thrilling to see so many nursing scholars and the induction of our new STTI president, Karin Morin. Dr. Morin is also the MSN and Doctoral Program Chair at UW–Milwaukee School of Nursing. Maureen Greene, our past Region 4 Chair and Delta Gamma member, hosted a regional reception for regional 4 attendees. We also elected Sarah Morgan as the new Region 4 chair. Dr. Morgan is also on faculty at UWM. Please follow this link to learn more about the meeting.

Delta Gamma 30th Anniversary
We are in the planning stages for Delta Gamma’s 30th Anniversary. Please save the date - April 25, 2010 and plan to attend our celebration. More on this exciting day will be coming to you soon.

Holiday Book Drive
Our holiday joint book drive with the Marquette University Student Nurses Association to benefit the Marquette Neighborhood Clinic is underway now until December 11. Please drop off new or gently used children’s book in one of the collection boxes in Clark Hall. You can also make a cash donation to this cause by using our secure online PayPal feature.

2010 – The International Year of the Nurse
The year 2010 has been declared The International Year of the Nurse by the Nightingale Declaration and endorsed by STTI and the ANA. More info...

Let’s make it memorable year! See you on April 25.
