Alumni Update

Paula S. Kent, MSN ’05

President, JHNAA

p53_JHNAA_PresLetterI hope you had a wonderful holiday season and you’re gearing up for a busy spring! Our Alumni Weekend Committee has been planning Alumni Weekend 2013, and it’s shaping up to be a great one, with even more activities packed into three days. I hope all of you—especially those celebrating a reunion—will save the date for September 26-28th, 2013. More information can be found on page 54.

We are trying to get some new faces involved with JHNAA committees, especially the Alumni Weekend Committee and the Alumni-Student Committee. It’s really fulfilling work and doesn’t take up a lot of time. It’s a great way to get engaged (or re-engaged) and meet new people! Please let me know if you’re interested.
Also, it’s important to remember that we have another great resource, the JHU Alumni Association. I now represent the School of Nursing on the JHU Alumni Council, and I’ve been amazed by how many opportunities there are for us to collaborate with the University. JHUSON alums should take advantage of the many alumni events offered by the Homewood campus, in Baltimore and around the world. The JHU alumni chapters in Baltimore and Washington, D.C. are looking for participation from Nursing alums, so please let me know if you’d like to get involved!
Please get in touch with me anytime at pkent2@jhmi.edu. The best part of this position is meeting so many of you!
