ACON Associate Dean Honored by the Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation

The Mathew Forbes Romer Foundation (MFRF) offers scholarships to nursing students interested in the care of pediatric patients. MFRF also provides speakers who offer their experience with nurses caregiving for children with life threatening genetic disease. These speakers inform nursing students of their opportunity to select home care once they become a nurse and their impact on the patients, and family’s needs. Jo Ann Kleier, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Research and Compliance, of the Ron and Kathy Assaf College of Nursing (ACON) was honored by the MFRF for her dedication and assistance in ensuring our students have these continued opportunities. Each year she works diligently with their foundation to connect, plan, and execute educational presentations twice a year. Additionally, she ensures their scholarship funding is distributed among nursing students with a passion for pediatrics. Her continued commitment to the MFRF has made a difference in the ACON student experience.
