Honors

Evelyn Hayes, Trustees' Distinguished Professor Emerita in the School of Nursing, received the annual Impact Award from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society Tri-State Consortium. The Impact Award is offered each year to recognize a member of a chapter of the Tri-State consortium who has been a registered nurse for over 10 years and demonstrates the defining principles of Sigma to promote leadership, scholarship and service on a global scale in the field of nursing. Hayes has spent 57 years contributing her passion to the development of the nursing and healthcare workforce. She has co-edited and authored eight editions of Pharmacology: A Nursing Process Approach, as well as serving 23 years in the U.S. Army Nurse Corp Reserves, retiring at the rank of colonel. “There is no one more deserving of the Impact Award than Dr. Hayes,” said Jennifer Graber, associate dean of academic affairs and practice initiatives as well as associate professor in the School of Nursing. “Her tireless efforts in the community with vulnerable populations have truly left a nursing legacy in Delaware and beyond.”

Additionally, Amy Jackson, an alumna of the School of Nursing, was awarded the Anne Muller Award from the same organization. Jackson is a nurse for the Wilmington Intensive Care Unit and is a member of the American Association of Critical Care Nurses. She is currently a second-year graduate student at the University of Maryland School of Nursing, and her research focuses on goal-concordant care for intensely sick older adults.
