Highlights from Tropaia
“Today at Tropaia, we celebrate extraordinary accomplishments in the School of Nursing. Congratulations to each and every one of you on the hard work and dedication that have led to this moment.”
— Roberta Waite, dean of the School of Nursing
“Georgetown nurses are cut from a different cloth. This prestigious university develops nurse leaders who advance social justice, dismantle oppressive conditions, and promote health equity for all people. We see this reflected in the settings that our graduates work in: community health centers, correctional facilities, intensive care units, substance use disorder clinics, palliative care units.”
— Evelyn Addo-Wallace (N’23)
Waite presented Tenley Johnson with the award for Most Outstanding Student in the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Program.
