News brief: Nursing Ed. Building gets ex-dean's name

The Nursing Education Building will be officially renamed for Dean Emerita Claire Fagin at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Nov. 30.

The event will kick off a $60 million fundraising campaign named "Where Science Leads."

The campaign has already garnered a $5 million gift from the Annenberg Foundation as well as significant support from Carol Ware Gates and the 1675 Foundation.

Fagin served as dean of the Nursing School from 1977 to 1992 and was Penn's interim president from 1993 to 1994.

She is credited with putting emphasis on research and nursing science.
