Spring is an exciting time of year celebrating nursing during our annual Induction Ceremony and Nurses Week. In May, we inducted 34 new members into our chapter who will undoubtedly make their mark in nursing. The Induction Ceremony was an amazing event with several students from across nursing programs attending. It is a joyous occasion celebrating achievements of students and community members. Dr. Danielle Howa Pendergrass, our Keynote Speaker left an indelible impression on what it means to grow, learn and lead throughout your profession. Welcoming new members is the highlight of my presidency, and a reminder of what it means to belong to such a wonderful organization. We hope that both current and new members find benefit in belonging to Sigma Theta Tau International and Gamma Rho Chapter, as you grow and make a difference in nursing.
