University will recognize two icons in nursing education and celebrate a gift in their honor Nov. 25
KINGSTON, R.I.–Nov. 22, 2024– On Monday, Nov. 25, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed will join University of Rhode Island Provost Barbara E. Wolfe, URI College of Nursing Dean Danny Willis and other University leaders, to honor two distinguished former College of Nursing faculty members in connection with a fellowship in their name.
The Dr. Donna Schwartz-Barcott and Dr. Hesook Suzie Kim Nursing Fellowship is awarded to doctoral degree candidates at the URI College of Nursing. This award, inspired by an anonymous gift, is intended to address the nationwide shortage in nursing professors by supporting those who aspire to careers as faculty members after completing their degree.
Professor Emerita Hesook Suzie Kim was a College of Nursing professor from 1973 until her retirement in 2004, and dean of the College from 1983 to 1988. She also was a professor at University of Oslo in Norway from 1992 to 2003. She has been an international researcher and leader in nursing theory development with an emphasis on the nature of nursing practice.
Professor Emerita Donna Schwartz-Barcott worked at URI for 46 years and had more than 20 years of experience in guiding graduate students, assisting them in building programs of study and mentoring faculty in teaching and scholarly activities. Schwartz-Barcott collaborated internationally with researchers in Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Korea. Her research focused on pain, anxiety, and other central phenomena experienced by patients across nursing care settings; community health; inductive approaches to theory development; and sociocultural influences on health and illness.
