The Tovey Trust Fund provided support to the School of Nursing for the Distinguished Lecture Series in honor of Miss Evelyn Tovey. The series enables the school to address key initiatives in support of the school’s vision to provide excellent academic programs and promote student success. Traditionally held as part of annual National Nurses Week activities in May, the Lecture Series was postponed this year due to the pandemic and will be rescheduled at a later date.
Miss Tovey joined the UA nursing faculty in 1950 and retired in 1975 as professor emeritus of nursing. She is remembered fondly as a committed and caring faculty member.
