We are honored to introduce eight of our new academic and research faculty, representing a broad spectrum of the profession and bringing an array of academic and research expertise.
Colleagues, friends, and family gathered September 13, 2023, to honor Vivian Taylor, EdD, who is retiring after a decade as associate dean for diversity and cultural affairs at Columbia Nursing.
From a young age, Brenda Janotha ’08, DNP, knew she wanted to help people. She pitched in to care for two of her cousins, who had neurological conditions, and later volunteered at a local hospital.
Lisa Iannacci-Manasia ’77 ’89, MS, knew that when she saw a child first being born, pediatrics was what she wanted to practice — and that doing so involved striving to be at her best.
Jennifer Dohrn, DNP, had a previous life and a Bachelor of Arts degree in History before she discovered her love of nursing and midwifery and global health equity.
It was a nurse who served in War World II that first inspired Arlene Smaldone, PhD, assistant dean of scholarship and research to enter the field of nursing.
