FROM THE DEAN
Despite Challenges,
Our People Shine
It
was the best of times, it was
the worst of times, it was the
age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness, it was the epoch of
belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light,
it was the season of darkness,
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of
despair." Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities.
One hundred and sixty-one years after Charles
Dickens wrote these words, they still ring true
today. Despite a time of uncertainty, there are
plenty of remarkable things happening.
While it's not even possible to highlight all
of the amazing things they have done and
continue to do, this is an attempt to shine
a spotlight and celebrate the good."
As you flip through the following pages and reflect
on the amazing work from those at CU College of
Nursing, my wish is that you take hope from our
stories. If there is one thing I have come to realize
during the global coronavirus pandemic it is that
the people make the difference.
This publication shows that despite challenges,
we shine. That business as usual sometimes is
unusual and uncomfortable. Our faculty, staff,
CU College of Nursing | Spring/Summer 2020
students, and alumni have truly stepped up
in this time of uncertainty and it shows. Their
flexibility, nimbleness, and positivity inspire me.
While it's not even possible to highlight all of the
amazing things they have done and continue to
do, this is an attempt to shine a spotlight and
celebrate the good.
From faculty who transitioned to online education without missing a beat. To our simulation
team meeting the clinical needs of our students
when hospital partners were forced to shut
down access. With the threat of students not
graduating or delaying graduation, our faculty
created a way forward. To our clinics ramping
up telehealth operations and finding innovative
ways to serve the needs of our communities.
To an alumna serving on the front lines at
Elmhurst Hospital in New York and a current
PhD student who convinced Home Depot to
donate N-95 masks to health care workers at
CU Anschutz, these are the stories that inspire.
And to alumni who came together via a virtual
film festival connecting past and present.
Join me in celebrating "the spring of hope."
Remember, it's the people who make the difference. And, we have fantastic people doing great
things every day.
Best,
Elias Provencio-Vasquez
