Show Miss Catherine Mainwaring, a very convivial person and competent instructor, has the unique distinction of being the only teacher who presently has classes with students in every level of the School of Nursing program. A native of Logan, Utah, Miss Mainwaring assumed the position of Assistant Dean of the College of Nursing at the outset of the present school year. After graduation from Holy Cross School of Nursing, Miss Mainwaring was the Educational Consultant for Nursing at the University until her appointment as Assistant Dean. Miss Mainwaring has also served as an assistant professor in the College of Nursing and as a counselor to the College. She belongs to the Utah League of Nursing, the American Nursing Association, the State Board of Utah State Nurses Association and the National League for Nurses. Miss Mainwaring has put in many years of dedication to nursing, including eleven years at the University. Miss Catherine Mainwearing Professor of Nursing "Teaching of students is something I get a charge out of," stated Dr. Ernest B. Christiansen, Professor of Chemical Engineering. Since 1946, this is exactly what Professor Christiansen has been doing. Advocating an "informal, healthy relationship" between the instructor and student, he looks upon research grants as a means to make it possible for two or three graduate students to be financed. Research, he claims, is part of the process to enable natural stimulation for graduate students. Dr. Christiansen has worked personally on such diverse projects as the atomic bomb and synthetic fibers for Dupont. His special area is presently the "particle dynamics of fluid flow and heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluids" or as Dr. Christiansen translated it, "studying jellylike and gooey substances." His special abilities in this area have allowed him to receive three distinguished national honors. Dr. Ernest B. Christiansen Professor of Chemical Engineering 34 |
