BRIEF: Nursing students to receive awards

Dobies, a junior in both the Nursing School and the College, will recieve the Jeanne Frances Hopkins Award which goes to "a sophomore or junior who embarked on a uniquely Penn curricular opportunity," according to Naylor. Perreault will be awarded the Diane O. McGiven Award for her work as a research assistant and volunteer in the Teen Parent Program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Naylor said the award is given to a freshman, sophomore, or junior who has made "a significant contribution in the area of health policy issues." "There are very few opportunities we have to provide recognition to our students, so we are really delighted with the opportunity," Naylor added. The reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the street-level reception area of the Nursing Education Building. -- Heidi Gleit
