Every St. Luke’s graduate is a member of the association.
Your attendance and participation in alumni functions
is encouraged. Anyone wishing to attend a Board of
Directors Meeting is welcome. Contact Bernie or any
board member for date and time if you are interested.
Class Reunions
Reunions typically take place every five years following
graduation. Every class is responsible to plan their
specific reunion activities. It is nice to have your class

addresses for your classmates please contact Gloria
or Bernie.

Gifts
Many years ago the reunion classes established the
practice of giving a gift to the association at the time of
each of their class reunions, every five years. For many
years it was china or silver. Because we no longer have
a formal tea, all the china and silver have been sold and
engraved pieces were donated to the School of Nursing.
Since there is no need for these items, monetary gifts are
still appropriate and much appreciated. Such gifts along
with fundraising funds allow the association to provide
scholarships, as well as the Temporary Practice Permits
to students and ne graduates. Any class gift may be
designated for a specific purpose, i.e.- scholarship. If no
specific designation is provided, money is deposited into
the general fund and used for the purposes noted as well
as expenses of the association.

Future Homecoming
& Celebration of
Nurses Dates
Scholarships
Scholarships will no longer be given to undergraduates at Homecoming.
Because the school year has changed from 24 to 20 months, the timing of
providing scholarships has changed. A Promotion Ceremony will occur at
the half way mark of the school term, which has been determined to be a
more appropriate time to present scholarships as well. Therefore scholarships
will be presented to successful applicants at this ceremony. In 2011 the
scholarships will be presented on September 16. Future presentations will
occur at 10 month intervals, based on the entry date of students.
Congratulations to Members of the Class of 1961,
celebrating 50 years as professional nurses:

Featured Graduate
Kwhite Biosketch
I entered into nursing practice with a diploma from St. Luke’s Hospital in
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1975. The most important thing I learned at St.
Luke’s is a passion for clinical nursing. That passion caused me to attend The
George Washington University to become a nurse anesthetist in 1981. Nurse
anesthesia is really the most intense clinical nursing. The person receiving the
anesthetic is completely reliant upon the CRNA to monitor their well being
constantly and make adjustments to maintain a safe anesthetic. I went on to
earn my Masters degree from St. Thomas University (in St. Paul, Minnesota)
when this became a requirement for entry into practice as a CRNA. I began
service to America’s veterans as Chief Nurse Anesthetist at the Minneapolis
VA in September of 2001, five days before the attack on the World Trade
Center Twin Towers. It is humbling to be able to support our veterans
through these two wars by insuring that they have the very best of care at the
Minneapolis VA.
Eventually I became restless for more knowledge that would help me improve
our service to the veterans. I had heard rumors of a clinical doctorate, this
Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I investigated a little and this was what
spoke to me: a degree that would help me in my everyday clinical role and
my leadership role within the Veterans Administration. I graduated from
Rush University in 2005 with my Doctor of Nursing degree. There were
44 graduates across the country that year. Since that time many schools
of nursing have developed DNP programs. According to the American
Association of Colleges of Nursing’s April 2011 fact sheet, 1282 nurses
completed their DNP degree in 2010.
In 2006, the University of Minnesota hired me to assist with the launching
of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program. Our first Masters to DNP class
graduated in 2007. I was invited to be the commencement speaker. What an
honor. About that time, a colleague and I noticed the lack of textbooks to
help schools of nursing develop their DNP programs. We successfully wrote
a textbook, The Doctor of Nursing Practice Essentials, A New Model for
Advanced Practice Nursing, published by Jones and Bartlett in 2010. It has
sold very well. We just got the contract for the second edition. My co-author
and I have spoken across the country about our innovative model for the
DNP project that was first described in our book. Last year I was appointed
by the University of Minnesota as the Program Director for the Nurse
Anesthesia specialty in the School of Nursing. We will graduate the first class
of BSN-DNP nurse anesthetists next August.
I have administered anesthesia in a wide variety of settings: tertiary medical
centers, outpatient facilities, office settings, Level 1 trauma hospitals, obstetric
units, burn hospitals and in the austere setting of a missions practice in
Tanzania. I enjoy them all. The passion I gained for clinical nursing at St.
Luke’s so long ago still carries my career forward. It is the underpinning of
my passion for nurse anesthesia and the reason why I feel so strongly about
the Doctor of Nursing Practice as an entry level degree for advanced practice
nurses. It is the celebration of clinical scholarship that is so important for
nurses. All nurses will benefit from the elevation of the scholarship of clinical.
I am continually grateful for what I learned so long ago at St. Luke’s.
By-Laws Review
The by-laws of the Association require that they be
reviewed every two years. Board members appointed for
the review in 2010 are: Ann Bockius Andres (Chairperson),
Sandra Epp Kimmel, Sandra Tirpak Davidyock, Wendy
Dennison Magocs and Bernice La Bar Kucsan. The team
met on June 6th. The following changes and additions are
recommended by the team:
Change Vision and Mission Statements to read as
follows:
Vision: 1. To unite St. Luke’s school of Nursing graduates
in the common goal of education and dedication to the
healing arts profession. 2. To encourage active participation
of association members.
Mission: 1. To uphold the traditions, standards and
progress of nursing as a profession. 2. To maintain a
professional society which promotes mutual collegiality
and communication among graduates of the School of
Nursing. 3. To provide financial assistance to eligible
students of St. Luke’s School of Nursing.
Add the following statement to Article II – Nominations
and Elections, Section 1. “The Nominating Team
Chairperson will present the nominations at the annual
meeting.”
Add to Article IV – Duties of the board of Directors,
Section 6 A – (Teams appointed by the president)
“Nominating:Team is responsible to obtain names for
Board of Directors and Officers for presentation at the
annual meeting”.
Add the following Statement:
Incorporation: The association is the owner and is
responsible for the maintenance and insurance of items,
artifacts and memorabilia entrusted to its care.
Add the following new Section
Article XI – Dissolution of the Alumni Association:
In the event of dissolution of the Alumni Association,
the Board of Directors shall be responsible for the
disbursement of any remaining monies or property.
Please note that the Vision & Mission Statements were
outdated and needed to be brought up to today’s processes.
Other minor changes were important to allow for teams
to function appropriately. The addition of the section
addressing dissolution is the most important change to
the by-laws. There is no plan or even a suggestion that the
association will dissolve. Addressing this issue is standard
for most organizations and it needed to be addressed for us
in the unlikely event that such action may be necessary in
the future.
The suggested revisions will be voted on by members
present at Homecoming on October 15, 2011.
If you have questions, comments or suggestions please
come to the meeting prepared to discuss them.
