A Very Special Thank You
Johns Hopkins Nursing owes much of its success
to former consulting editor Sue DePasquale. From the magazine's
early concept through the Fall/Winter 2007 issue, DePasquale has
helped guide the editorial development and quality of Johns Hopkins
Nursing. During that time, she consulted with the magazine's former
editors Kate Pipkin and Ming Tai, and current editor Kelly
Brooks-Staub.
In a note of appreciation to DePasquale, Martha
N. Hill, PhD, RN, FAAN, dean of the Johns Hopkins University School
of Nursing, described her as one of the magazine's important
"mentors" and commended her work and "unending energy."
DePasquale is now serving as the news editor of Hopkins Medicine and
continues to consult on numerous JHU publications. |
