Professor Gary Laustsen and Associate Professor Kim Kintz were named the inaugural Cathy and Dave Haugeberg Leadership in Innovation and Excellence School of Nursing Faculty Award recipients. This new award recognizes faculty trailblazers, who are engaging students in their cutting-edge work.
Kintz has devoted a considerable amount of time teaching, service learning and building partnerships in Peru. Her connections have paved the way for new learning opportunities for Linfield students and the care of diverse populations.
Laustsen developed the university’s new Master of Science in Nursing program, from brainstorming to recruitment and accreditation. He has led presentations at international conferences about its distinctive focus on environmental leadership, creating a model for other nursing schools on integrating nursing leadership and planetary health.
