Maureen Power (Urban Studies, IUI) was honored at the Friends of Senior Center Annual Gala on November 12 with the Collaborative Support Award. This award is given in recognition of an individual or organization whose vital success in bringing together innovative ideas, talent and resources has significantly improved the lives of seniors in the greater Worcester community. Maureen was recognized for the founding and subsequent years of work with the Intergenerational Urban Institute at Worcester State College, and in the community at large. Members of the IUI attended the gala and shared in the accolades.
Earlier this year Maureen, and the IUI were awarded the MA Service-Learning Higher Education Partner Leader Award for Outstanding commitment to service-learning as a teaching methodology. This award recognizes an outstanding institution of higher education whose representatives partner with public schools in order to promote service-learning, civic engagement and community improvement. The award recognizes leadership both within WSC and for the South High students and faculty to engage in high-quality service-learning.
With funding for round II of Commonwealth Corps, a group of WSC students ages 19 -86 , under Maureen's direction, is engaged in ?Ending Hunger Together? in the community. They are working with South High, Brigham Hill Farm and senior centers throughout the county. A key focus of this work is expanding access to SNAP (formerly, food stamps ). In the days ahead they will be doing SNAP outreach on this campus as well.
Congratulations to Janice Huff (2009 WSC M.S. Nursing Program graduate). Janice's Master's project, "Adequacy of Wound Education in Undergraduate Nursing Curriculum" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing.
Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing is the official publication of the Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society (WOCN). This international journal provides continuing education for the entire scope of WOC nursing practice. Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing is the authoritative resource devoted to the nursing care and management of patients with abdominal stomas, wounds, pressure ulcers, fistulas, vascular ulcers, and incontinence. Original, peer-reviewed articles in the journal examine these topics in hospital, home health, and long-term care settings.
With Janice's accomplishment, 100% of the Class of 2009 had their M.S. projects published.
