Awards
Each year, the Annie Goodrich Award for excellence in teaching is granted to a faculty member chosen by the students. An ad hoc committee, appointed by the president of the Student Government Organization, is responsible for soliciting nominations and making the final selection.
The Charles King, Jr., Memorial Scholars’ Aid Prize is awarded to a member of the graduating class who has demonstrated outstanding performance in scholarship, research, and clinical practice and who, through accomplishments and leadership, has inspired an admiration for professional work. Nominations are solicited from faculty and students, and selection is made by a committee.
The Milton and Anne Sidney Prize is awarded to the graduating student whose scholarly inquiry praxis, in the judgment of the faculty, best exemplifies the School’s commitment to clinical study and its mission to contribute to better health care for all people through systematic study of the nature and effect of nursing practice. Nominations are solicited from faculty. Selection is made by a committee.
The Anthony DiGuida Delta Mu Research Prize is awarded to a graduating doctoral student who loved doctoral study at YSN and whose love of clinical scholarship has resulted in a dissertation that best exemplifies the goals of Sigma Theta Tau and YSN to advance nursing knowledge through superior clinical scholarship and leadership. Selection is made by a committee of the faculty.
The Connecticut Holistic Health Association Prize for academic excellence at YSN is given to a deserving student demonstrating academic excellence in a holistically oriented research or clinical project of significant social relevance.
