Pigott Receives Nursing Alumni Award
 |
Victoria Pigott, special projects
director for the School of Nursing and Health Professions, received the 2004
USI Distinguished Nursing Alumni Award.
The Distinguished Nursing Alumni Award provides recognition to a graduate
who has made outstanding achievements in a career or in public service.
Pigott was the first president elected for the Nursing Alumni Society. She
has been a huge influence in the development of the Nursing Alumni
Scholarship, which will be awarded during the 2005-2006 Honors Week.
Prior to coming to USI, Pigott served as director of Health Care Quality and
Education at the Tri-State Business Group on Health. She also has experience
as a staff nurse and staff development coordinator.
"She is the major contributor and the reason that we have a USI Nursing
Alumni Society," said Nadine Coudret, dean and professor of nursing.
"We wanted to have a USI Nursing Alumni Society, but Victoria did more than
just think about it, she was the initiator."
Pigott teaches in the health professions program and has served as a
clinical instructor for nursing students. She is responsible for the
development and coordination of nine School of Nursing and Health
Professions continuing education certificate programs, with enrollees from
every state and 13 countries.
A 1988 graduate of the Deaconess School of Nursing, Pigott completed a B.S.N.
in 1995 and an M.S.N. in 2001 at USI.
She is active in clinical practice and Omicron Phi Chapter of Sigma Theta
