Lorna K. Finnegan
Department of Public Health, Mental Health, and Administrative Nursing.
Dr. Lorna Finnegan was named the Honors College 2006-2007 Fellow of the Year based on nominations made by three of her students. Megan Dorsey wrote, "Dr. Finnegan provided opportunities for me and other nursing students that culminated in our presentation at the UIC College of Nursing Research Day... I gained a mentor that I believe I will stay in touch with for a long time after I graduate." Arpita Patel added "Dr. Finnegan is a brilliant mentor who sees potential in her students, then helps them enhance their personal, educational, and occupational experiences... Her ability to understand her students and share her knowledge made being a part of the Honors College worth all the hard work." And Vilija Geleziute remarked "...I would never have had a chance to participate in so many events if Dr. Finnegan had not encouraged or nominated me. She made a huge difference in my college experience. She is a great mentor and advisor who deserves to be recognized for all her hard work and attentiveness to students."
Congratulations, Dr. Finnegan!
