The Jonas Center for Nursing and Veterans Healthcare at
Vanderbilt University School of Nursing has named J.T. Seaman a Jonas Nurse
Leader Scholar.
Seaman is an instructor at the JoAnne Gay Dishman School of
Nursing at Lamar University.
“This is strong recognition for not only Mr. Seaman, but
also for the Dishman School of Nursing faculty here at Lamar,” Nursing School
Chair Cynthia Stinson said. “We pride ourselves on having some of the finest
faculty in the nation.”
The innovative Jonas Nurse Leaders Scholar Program has the
goal of adding to the number of U.S. nursing school facilities that have
doctorates.
“To have 12 scholars named in one year is extremely
gratifying and speaks to both the excellence of our students and to the Jonas
Center’s commitment to developing exceptional faculty and scholars,” Dean and
Calere Potter Menefee Professor of Nursing Linda Norman said. “These students
will be the teachers and mentors of the future nurses who are essential to
meeting America’s growing healthcare needs. We are very grateful for the vision
and generosity of the Jonas Center. I know that several of our Jonas Scholars
wouldn’t have been able to pursue their doctorates without the program’s
support.”
