Price Leadership Award was established by Dr. Pamela Cook, GRU faculty member and graduate of the DNP class of 2006, in honor of her mother who exemplifies the highest ideals of leadership and who has been her greatest inspiration and role model. This award recognizes two graduating pre-licensure nursing students per year (a Clinical Nurse Leader in December and a Baccalaureate student in May) who demonstrate excellent leadership abilities by their significant contributions to their class and the College of Nursing. Selection for this $200 award will be determined by the College of Nursing Scholarship Selection Committee.
