Penn Nursing's Global
Initiatives are part of the University of Pennsylvania's
overall strategic goals of internationalization. All twelve
of Penn's schools incorporate a global perspective as part
of their curricula and faculty view international issues and
comparative approaches as integral to their own research agenda.
The School of Nursing builds on its reputation of excellence
and continues to expand upon a long and productive legacy
of international research and presentations around the world.
Penn Nursing's international activities have been enhanced
by a strengthened Office of International Programs coordinating
activities for Penn Nursing, under the leadership of former
Dean
Norma Lang, Lillian S. Brunner Professor of Medical Surgical
Nursing, and Director of the WHO Collaborating Center in Nursing
and Midwifery Leadership.
