Rose Ann DiMaria-Ghalili, PhD, professor of PhD Nursing and associate dean for Interprofessional Research and Development, received the Distinguished Educator in Gerontological Nursing designation from the National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence.

The reason this program was created is in response to the "rapidly growing older adult population and the urgent need to prepare the future nurse workforce to care for an aging population." National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence recognizes that "it is imperative to have well-prepared nurse educators not only with knowledge and skills in care of older adults, but also with teaching competence so that they can foster positive attitudes toward older adults and actively engage learners at all levels."

Congratulations, Dr. DiMaria-Ghalili!
