Angelia Trujillo, associate professor in the School of Nursing, has been selected as an honoree for the Celebrating Nurses Awards. The award recognizes registered nurses and nurse practitioners in Alaska who have made a positive impact in the lives of patients, families, and communities in 2021.
Former School of Nursing director Tina DeLapp receives a Meritorious Service Award from Chancellor Parnell and Provost Runge.
This March, students from UAA’s pharmacy and nurse practitioner programs will travel to Pilot Station and Akiak to administer free health screenings to Head Start students and the wider community. This trip is the first of two planned to rural Alaska communities each year, one in spring and another in fall, referred to as Project Partnership for Alaska’s Kids (PAK).
“I never thought I would be involved in philanthropy, but after gaining an in-depth understanding of the program and working with Dr. Tina DeLapp, I decided to establish an endowment to the Recruitment and Retention of Alaska Natives into Nursing (RRANN), as a beneficiary of my modest estate.”
Teens ages 16-19 from all over the state gathered for three days of hands-on activities and exploration to experience what a potential career in nursing or health care could be like during nursing camp.
