Good News! BryanLGH Nursing Joins Nu Rho Chapter!

Although faculty and students at the BryanLGH School of Nursing have always been active in the STT Nu Rho Chapter, it is now official! STTI voted to amend the Nu Rho Chapter with the addition of the BryanLGH School of Nursing.

This is great news for Nu Rho Chapter.

There will be a formal chartering ceremony in February of 2010. Watch for details about the date, time, and location of this important event!!

Nu Rho Chapter Wins Key Award

Nu Rho Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International was been awarded with the prestigious Chapter Key Award. Dr Kay Maize accepted the award at STT convention in November 2009. The award is given to a chapter based on chapter and individual member accomplishments. Sharon Fusco and Nancyruth Leibold started the application process early in 2009. Information from individual members, Bryan College of Nursing, Nebraska Wesleyan University, and Union College was collected and sorted into the criteria set by STTI for the award. The final application was written by Nancyruth Leibold and submitted to STTI on behalf of the chapter. "It truly is a statement of how highly professional and active our chapter members are in nursing" commented Leibold.

Congratulations Nu Rho Chapter!!
