Victoria (Vicki) Mock, PhD, RN, FAAN, professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, died November 15, 2007 after a long battle with cancer. She was chair of the School's new Department of Health Systems and Out-comes, led the School's Center for Collaborative Intervention Research, and directed nursing research at the Kimmel Cancer Center. She held numerous other honors and was inter-nationally known for her research in oncology nursing. On January 14, the School of Nursing and the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center held a special commemorative program to celebrate her major contributions and the impact she had on so many colleagues, students, and trainees.

"I could
not believe it was true when I got this shocking news. I still remember the
last time I met with Dr. Mock in Beijing last April. She said 'Please send
me your paper whenever you finish...good luck in your study.' Her smile is
still in my mind."
-Xiaokun Liang, MSN, RN, visiting doctoral student from Peking Union Medical
College
"Vicki
treated every person she met with the same high degree of gracious kindness
and respect, regardless of job title or status."
