For twenty-eight years, Mount St. Joseph University has brought together the Greater Cincinnati community to recognize and honor outstanding nurses who go above and beyond to provide exceptional leadership.
Mount St. Joseph University, with nearly 100 years of providing quality nursing education, has a rich heritage and commitment to preparing nursing leaders. We were proud to host the 28th Leadership in Nursing Awards Ceremony on October 18, 2023, at the Drees Pavilion.
Five awards were presented to the 2023 recipients: Distinguished Nurse Administrator, Distinguished Nurse Educator, Distinguished Nurse Researcher, and Lifetime Achievement in Nursing along with four leadership scholarships to nursing students.
Please see pictures and videos below. We look forward to celebrating again in 2024. Information about the 2024 Leadership in Nursing Awards Ceremony will be forthcoming.
