10 Million by 2010 |
|
|
The Foundation Board of Trustees and staff are proud to be at the threshold of a new era of growth as we celebrate the 30th Anniversary of our incorporation. Our past accomplishments have made it possible for us to move into this new era with great enthusiasm. Many of you know that the Foundation has had tenants in the Center for Nursing for almost 10 years. They will be leaving in 2007 and we intend to occupy the entire building. Our goals include creating a nursing museum, increasing our health education programs, promoting and assisting nurses in becoming involved in research and promoting nursing recruitment and retention. In order to reach these goals the Foundation is undertaking a capital campaign to raise 10 million dollars by the year 2010. This campaign will enable us to expand the work of our three Centers substantially. Reaching our fund raising goal will be easy with your support!
We are enormously grateful for donations in any amount that you are able to contribute as we strive for better programming for the public and registered nurses throughout the world.

Recently the Cornell University - New York Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Association published Go, and Do Thou Likewise, a history of the school from 1877 to 1979. The author, Dr. Shirley H. Fondiller, is a recognized nurse historian and journalist. The book is a scholarly exploration that parallels the development of the nursing profession in relation to the evolution of American health care, the struggle of women for autonomy, and the advances in clinical nursing education and research.
The history comes alive particularly during the early period before the transition of a hospital diploma school to a university program in 1942 as vital, committed nurses reveal their humanity, humility, and courage in an evironment controlled by medical and hospital decision makers. An analysis of the complex relationships between the school's leadership and Hospital and Cornell University officials provides valuable lessions to nursing leaders in the 21st century.
Copies are available for a contribution of $20. To order, send a check, payable to CU-NYHSNAA, to:
