Walking through the streets of Beirut, Lebanon Judith Lambton, associate professor of nursing at the University of San Francisco, passed glimmering skyscrapers next to hollow edifices pocked by rocket-propelled grenades, a testament to the country’s violent history. On a nearby street corner a girl in a hajib pedaled her Barbie bicycle. Surveying the menu at McDonald’s, her eyes settled on the McArabia Meal.

The Answer is the USF School of Nursing, #2!
Which Bay Area Nursing School's faculty members received a Fulbright award, an appointment as a National League for Nursing Academy of Nursing Education Fellow, and a Jesuit Foundation Grant to study Social Justice and Community Health in Kenya in 2008-09?
That's right, three USF SON faculty members were honored for their academic and community efforts this past year. Dr. Judith Lambton was awarded a Fulbright Award to work as a nursing education consultant in Lebanon, while Dr. Angela Banks organized efforts focusing on women and Children in the Kagaa Village of Kenya. Dr. Gregory DeBourgh was named an NLN Academy of Nursing Education Fellow (ANEF), one of just 65 selected for the honor nationwide.
Yes, we're proud of our faculty!

SON DNP Program Hosts Accreditation Visit
Last week our Doctor of Nursing Practice program, the first such program in California, hosted an accreditation visit from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
Faculty and staff came together to prepare a report and supporting documentation demonstrating the program's excellence in terms of four different standards of measure: Mission and Governance, Institutional Commitment and Resources, Curriculum and Teaching-Learning Practices, and Aggregate Student Performance and Faculty Outcomes.
Across these four standards, and their 25 sub-standards, the Commission's visitors found that we had complied in all areas! Kudos go to all who participated in this effort!
