Greetings from Carolina Nursing! I am humbled to serve as the Senior Associate Dean for Global Initiatives. I am also serving as Center Director of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) Collaborating Center in Quality and Safety, a role I share with Dean Valerie Howard, EdD, MSN, RN, CNE, ANEF, FAAN.
With more than 20 years of experience in local and global health education, I am proud to serve our community in these roles. I wanted to share information about our School of Nursing’s global efforts, our PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center, and ways you can get involved with our global education and outreach efforts at the SON.
