         HONORING PACE UNIVERSITY'S LIENHARD SCHOOL OF NURSING

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2016

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the fiftieth anniversary 
of Pace University's Lienhard School of Nursing, and to applaud its 
work in educating generations of nurses.
  Founded in 1966, the Lienhard School of Nursing was Westchester 
County, New York's, first collegiate nursing program. Over the past 
fifty years, the School has maintained its commitment to excellence and 
scholarship by embracing change and always focusing on meeting the 
health needs of the general public.
  The School has offered the highest level of education to nursing 
students and has paved the way in designing innovative new nursing 
programs, including the first nurse-managed health care unit on a 
college campus, one of the first nursing programs in the country for 
second career individuals, and was an early Doctor of Nursing Practice 
Program. This leadership in the field of nursing makes the School one 
of the finest in the country.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to have the Lienhard School of Nursing in my 
district. I urge my colleagues to join me in honoring the School during 
its fiftieth anniversary year.

                          ____________________
