About The Art and Soul of Nursing: A Celebration
THE MAY L. WYKLE PROFESSORSHIP
|
Never before has a professorship been named for an African-American at Case Western Reserve University.
And never before has one person touched the lives of so many of our students, colleagues, and faculty quite like May L. Wykle.
The establishment of the May L. Wykle Professorship is a fitting way to honor a woman whose strength, compassion, and leadership capture the art and soul of the nursing profession--and who continues to influence nursing issues on an international level, while inspiring the many successes of the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing.
This new professorship is, in fact, even more momentous when juxtaposed in the greater context of the number of endowed chairs at the top 50 universities and liberal arts colleges across the U.S. Out of approximately 5,000 endowed chairs, research indicates that less than 150 of those chairs are held by African Americans, and far fewer endowed chairs are actually named for an African American. As the first professorship at Case Western Reserve University to be named after an African American, this vital fund will provide needed monies for a new faculty position at FPB dedicated to excellence in nursing education.
 Our efforts to generate these monies will culminate in our main event, The Art and Soul of Nursing: A Celebration, which took place on Friday, June 22, 2007 at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, in the Grand Ballroom (pictured at left). This exciting and memorable evening featured:

All event proceeds fund The May L. Wykle Professorship.
The significance of the May L. Wykle Professorship resonates with each one of us today as we look toward not only the future of our renowned nursing school, but also its greater purpose. Moreover, this professorship is urgently needed to help address the critical nursing faculty shortage amidst the ongoing nursing shortage in an aging population.
The Bolton School of Nursing is extremely excited about The Art and Soul of Nursing: A Celebration, and it is our hope that you will choose to become a part of this one-of-a-kind project. The passionate and energetic contributions that nurses have made to our society across cultures, disciplines, and communities have never been recognized in an event quite like this, and we heartily welcome your participation.

Bill Pinkney and the Original Drifters
Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Bill Pinkney is the sole surviving original member of The Drifters, and he is one of only a handful of artists who can legitimately claim to have helped to invent Rock and Roll.
From his work on seminal Atlantic sides starting with “Money Honey” in 1953, to his groundbreaking work as an advocate for artists’ rights and fair business practices, Bill Pinkney has blazed one of the deepest and most unique trails in music history.
|
Hailed as the best act of its genre on the music scene, Bill Pinkney and the Original Drifters weave a blend of nostalgic magic with on-stage excitement. You'll enjoy such classics as This Magic Moment, Under the Boardwalk, Stand by Me, and On Broadway. |
