Nursing School Dean to Speak as Part of ‘United Pittsburgh’ Series

Dr. Mary Ellen Glasgow, dean of Duquesne’s School of Nursing, will be the keynote speaker Monday, April 8, as part of the Center for Catholic Faith and Culture’s United Pittsburgh speaker series.

Glasgow will present Where Does the Buck Stop? at 6:30 p.m. in room 104 of College Hall. Recognized as an innovator in nursing and health professions both nationally and internationally, she became nursing dean at Duquesne in 2012. Since then, she has significantly expanded the school’s research and scholarship programs, increasing enrollment and NCLEX-RN scores. The school is recognized as a national leader in nursing education, emphasizing social justice, digital technologies and graduates with strong ethical reasoning skills.

In 2018, Glasgow received the prestigious Nightingale Award of Pennsylvania in the education-academia category. An award-winning author, she also is a National League for Nursing Academy of Nursing Fellow, a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing and a former Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow.

United Pittsburgh combines academic courses with a free public speaker series. It focuses on collaboration with the community by providing new insights into Catholic social teaching and promoting civic awareness among the University’s students, faculty and staff. These community forums are open to the public and free of charge.
