Show UNIVffiRSITY OF UTAH COLLEGE OF NURSING CONVOCATION EXERCISES June 5, 1971 Welcome and Introduction of Speaker Graduates, guests, I1r. Bart.1:t ~ I a, Distinguished Speaker for the Convoca- tion, Students and Faculty: It is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the campus today to honor this year's graduates from the baccalaureate and master's degree programs in nursing. College graduation and the obtaining of advanced degrees are milestones along the road of life. They represent years of consistent satisfactory or even distin- guished achievement for which little recognition may have been given along the way.

To compliment her educational experience ·she has had an equally broad professional (3) background in both the clinical and educational fields of nursing. Since 1954 she has been Head of the Division of Nurse Education at New York University and has been directly responsible for guiding the development of that organization (including the development of a doctoral program) to its present position of ~ inence. Her "know-how" is much sought and she is in great demand as a consultant to C schools and colleges of nursing throughout the United States and to other such varied institutions and agencies as the F. A. Davis Publishing Company and the Surgeon General's Office of the U. S. Air Force. As if the above were not sufficient to keep Dr. Rogers more than busily employed, she is an active member of many national, regional and local professional connnittees and organizations. She has also made her influence felt through books and numerous articles appearing in the prominent (4) From the foregoing it is evidenb why we feel especially honored in having Dr. Rogers as our principle convocation speaker. to you.
