New York, NY -- More than 250 friends and colleagues
– including leaders from the worlds of academia and
health care – joined together to honor Mary
O’Neil Mundinger, who is stepping down next year
after twenty-four remarkable years as the dean of
the Columbia University School of Nursing.
The gala benefit dinner, which was held in Columbia
University’s Low Library rotunda, was a celebration
of Dean Mundinger’s leadership
at the nursing school and as a trailblazer for the entire nursing
profession. Columbia University President Lee
Bollinger, Representative Charles Rangel, the
Honorable Tom Kean, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital
President Dr. Herb Pardes and American Museum of
Natural History President Ellen Futter were
among the guests, along with nursing school alumni
and trustees. The event raised more than
$2.3 million to endow a professorship in
Dean Mundinger’s name, which will be held by the
future deans of the School of Nursing.
During her tenure, Dean Mundinger has changed the
face of nursing education and the nursing
profession. She turned Columbia University School of
Nursing into the pre-eminent nursing education
program in the country, while championing advanced
practice nursing and an expanded role for nurses
that emphasizes their professional autonomy. Among
her many accomplishments is the creation of the
Doctor
of Nursing Practice degree, the first doctoral
degree in clinical nursing, which is now offered at
more than 200 nursing schools nationwide.
