WHY I GIVE
GIVING
Without a doubt, my graduate studies at NYU
Rory Meyers College of Nursing was one of the
most formative educational experiences of my
life. It was a privilege to be part of a program
that had such an amazing, star-studded faculty
and where a theoretical model of nursing was
taught by the author herself — Martha Rogers.
I still have Rogers’ book, The Science of Unitary
Human Beings, sitting on my bookshelf.
The nursing school was located in the
Village in the seventies, which gave the
whole experience an extra flair, especially
for a young woman from upstate New York.
Because my focus was on adult health and
nursing education, I had the opportunity to
attend faculty meetings, which was a valu-
able experience that helped to mold and
build my leadership skills.
Along with the excellent education I received,
I established many important relationships
during my years at NYU that have continued
to thrive to this day. Attending alumni events
