UPDATE 2008: THE FIRST YEAR OF MAKING HISTORY
Afaf I. Meleis reflects on the first year of the Campaign and looks ahead...

Last year's greatest fundraising triumph?
 The endowment of the NewCourtland Center for Transitions and Health at Penn Nursing, the first research center in the country focused on improving care of patients as they transition between health care settings and providers. The gift is an investment in the translation of nursing science into clinical practice and reflects a partnership that now spans all of our campaign priorities.
Most memorable moment?
 Standing with faculty, staff, students, donors, friends, and dean emerita Dr. Claire Fagin as we officially dedicated our building, Claire M. Fagin Hall!
Your main focus this year?
 To build support for our faculty, who continue to develop cutting-edge knowledge and translate that science into care.
What's most exciting about Making History?
 The opportunity to share that the very nature of Penn Nursing science is not only to make history, but to make a difference through transforming care and improving lives.
