Penn State launched a new series named Perspective: Leaders at Penn State featuring deans from different colleges. In this video series, deans share about their life and passions. Just like Dr. Barrow wrote in his blog “Every Penn Stater, including our deans and all of the University’s dedicated leaders, has a story and worldview that is their own. And each of them has a passion that fills their heart, buoys their spirit and drives their mind. In getting a glimpse into the insights they bring to these passions, we can better understand the insights and impact they bring to Penn State.”
In this video, Laurie A. Badzek, dean of the Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing at Penn State, reflects on her love for making connections with faculty and students in the college as she strives to support and uplift them in their work.
“Most every day, I send personal notes, letting them know that I see them — I’m thinking about the good work that they do or something that’s impacting their life.” —- Dean Badzek
“Nurses really became highlighted because of the pandemic, who not only gave emotionally but gave physically at a level that we had never experienced — and the advocacy role of the nurse was seen by the entire world.” —- Dean Badzek
