Helen Melland farewell reception is July 16 Join the College of Nursing in saying farewell to Helen Melland, interim dean of nursing. A farewell reception will be held Thursday, July 16 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. (program at 3:30 p.m.) at the J. Lloyd Stone House. Helen has been an integral part of the College since 1989 and has helped us to grow into a leading school of nursing. During her time at UND, Helen has worn many hats including that of professor, department chair, associate dean, interim dean, and, most importantly, friend and mentor. Helen is leaving UND to be the dean of nursing at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT. Let us tip our hats and thank Helen for sharing her energy, time, talent, and vision that has clearly been an asset to the College, UND, North Dakota, and the nursing profession. -- Becky Cournia, Alumni & Development Officer, College of Nursing, beckycournia@mail.und.edu, 777-4526
