Andrea Brown - May 2010 Faculty of the Month

I would like to nominate Andrea Brown for faculty of the month. She has been working diligently for the passed months to prepare for the Nursing and Allied Health Pinning ceremony which will take place in May. A committee was formed to organize this event, with Andrea being named chairperson. The major portion of the preparation has fallen into her lap. I'm sure no one realizes the work that goes into something like this. I know I surely didn't. You have to arrange for a photographer and schedule times with each program that doesn't interfere with class and clinicals, collect photos from each group for the video, while trying to maintain fairness and equality to each group, prepare the Program with all the correct student, faculty and administrative information and get it to the printer on time, decide upon awards to be given out, arrange for someone to sing the national anthem, and many other things to numerous to mention. This does not include the organization that will be required the night of the ceremony to ensure that all goes smoothly. On top of all this, Andrea has also done a wonderful job in her teaching and clinical roles with the students. She is the mother of two young daughters and that is a full time job in itself. I think Andrea has done a tremendous job thus far and I really want to commend her and thank her for all her hard work.
