Faculty and staff at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing recently surprised Dean Colleen Conway-Welch, Ph.D., with a gift in honor of her 25 years as dean of the school, which gives her the longest tenure of any sitting dean in the country. Conway-Welch is pictured with VUSN leaders Linda Norman, D.S.N., R.N., left, and Becky Keck, M.S.N., R.N., as she receives a gift certificate for skydiving lessons, something on Conway-Welch’s personal "bucket list."
