Midwifery professor appointed executive deputy dean
Holly Powell Kennedy, the Helen Varney Professor of Midwifery, was recently named executive deputy dean at Yale School of Nursing. Kennedy’s new role is pivotal to the organizational transition occurring at the school. Kennedy, a retired colonel in the US Army Nurse Corps Reserve and a leader in midwifery education and research, is taking on this position in the midst of what she called the nursing school’s “unique juncture” that includes “a new campus, a reorganized infrastructure, and a revised curriculum to meet the changing needs of health care.”
Nursing educators honor professor
The National League for Nursing (NLN), the preferred membership organization for nurse faculty and leaders in nursing education, has selected YSN associate professor Linda Pellico as a fellow in its Academy of Nursing Education. A member of the seventh class of fellows, Pellico joins 183 leaders in nursing education who have made “enduring and substantial contributions to nursing education as teachers, mentors, scholars, public policy advocates, practice partners, and administrators.”
