Linda Wolf, RN, MSN, CNS
President, Delta Xi
Induction was held on April 17, 2005 in the Kiva. This year 47 undergraduates, 5 graduates, and 2 community leaders were inducted in a beautiful ceremony. An insightful and thought provoking keynote address was presented by Dr. Harriet Coeling. The inductees were charged to become nurse leaders. Dr. Coeling stressed that all nurses can be nurse leaders and should endeavor to be so since all nurses have the potential to be change agents.
This year is the 25th anniversary of Delta Xi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International. Connie Stopper, Assistant Dean and charter member of Delta Xi, presented a brief history of our chapter. She then presented a certificate to Delta Xi President, Linda Wolf, from Sigma Theta Tau International honoring our 25th anniversary.
The reception following induction was attended by many inductees, their families and friends.
