Adelphi University will posthumously recognize Justina Eisenhauer Mickiewicz '47, former Adelphi School of Nursing faculty member and director of student relations, with the Outstanding Service to Adelphi University School of Nursing Students Award at the University's Nursing Hall of Fame Induction Dinner, an evening to benefit nursing scholarships through the Mildred Montag Endowment Fund. The dinner is scheduled for June 12, 2005 at the Garden City Hotel, Garden City, NY, beginning with a cocktail hour at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner and an award presentation. During the evening, the University will also honor Jerry Landsberg, chairman of the board of directors for the Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation and Adelphi School of Nursing Advisory Board Member, with the Outstanding Service to Adelphi University School of Nursing Award, and Dr. Kathleen Gallo, Ph.D. '94, M.B.A. '97, senior vice president and chief learning officer of North Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, with the Outstanding Alumna Award.
Ms. Mickiewicz served as director of nursing at Flushing Hospital before earning the position of assistant professor and admissions officer in the Adelphi School of Nursing. She showed further dedication to her alma mater by serving as Alumni Trustee on the University's Board of Trustees, President of the Alumni Association, and Chairman of the Adelphi University Alumni Fund. A member of the American Nurses Association and the National League for Nursing, Ms. Mickiewicz received the Alumni Association Academy of Distinction Award in 1972. She received her B.S. from Adelphi, M.A. from Columbia University Teachers College, and M.Ed. from Columbia University.
The Mildred Montag Endowment Fund is named in honor of Mildred Montag, the first director of the Adelphi School of Nursing, whose devotion as a nurse educator and innovative research profoundly influenced the University and led to the unprecedented expansion of the nursing profession. The Nursing Hall of Fame will be located on the main floor of the Adelphi Swirbul Library, and will include pictures of the inductees, as well as memorabilia and historic documents from the Adelphi School of Nursing.
