"I would like to nominate Wendy Perry for the Commitment to Excellence award. Wendy has been incredible to work with on the e-Portfolio task force. She has been the point person in the school to learn and use the functionality of the Pebblepad (a University-wide endeavor). She has provided guidance, leadership and direction to faculty and students in the ABSN, MSN, DNP and PhD programs through the creation of program e-Portfolio websites. When we ran into problems, Wendy proactively sought out answers to the problems and readily corrected them. She is consistently professional and pleasant to work with and frequently provides insight to our meetings about best practices. She represented DUSON at a CIT showcase panel in the spring in regards to our progress with Pebblepad. I am certain that without her, this task force would not be where we are today." ~ Beth Cusatis Phillips
"I want to give a shout out for excellent work by Clinical Placement Office staff person, Karen Atwater. These last few months she has worked hard to help with a backup of placements as well as take care of the next semester items. She dependably completes confirmations and contracts and is in regular communication with course faculty as well as students, who are very appreciative. We appreciate her work ethic and professionalism!" ~ Kathy Trotter
"I would like to nominate Nora Harrington for the Commitment to Excellence Award. Nora consistently goes above and beyond in working with the Office of Admissions as a Lead Admissions Officer. Nora works diligently with prospective students from first inquiry contact to the time the student is admitted to the Duke ABSN Program. She works well with faculty in understanding the needs of the program and the types of high caliber students that we are seeking at DUSON. Nora is a team player and adds to the sense of community within the building. Her pleasant demeanor makes her a colleague that I consistently enjoy working with." ~ Margie Molloy
