DUSON campaign tops its fundraising goal
posted November 4th, 2008In less than six weeks, the Duke University School of Nursing has succeeded in meeting its goal of raising $50,000 through the Faculty-Staff Campaign.
The DUSON community contributed more than $25,000, ensuring a matching $25,000 pledge from Susan Meister, Ph.D., RN, FAAN, chair of the school’s national Board of Advisors, and her husband, Paul.
The money raised will go to the School of Nursing Annual Fund, which provides student scholarships.
“I am very pleased to support the annual fund and its agenda, especially scholarships,” Meister said. “As the chair of the Board of Advisors, I am well aware of the great advances the school has made with the leadership of our exceptional dean. I consider it an honor to join in these efforts.”
“This is a wonderful show of support for our students,” said Dean Catherine Gilliss, DNSc, RN, FAAN. “We are very grateful to Susan and Paul Meister for their support and commitment to our school.”
