Ceremonial Mace
Ceremonial maces are ornamental staffs made of wood and metal that are carried by an honored designee at graduation or at other significant University events. The mace is a focal point of the beginning and ending processionals. The School of Nursing’s mace was presented to the School at Convocation 2014 by Jay A. Perman, MD, then President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, as part of the School’s 125th anniversary celebration. The School of Nursing’s mace was crafted by Bruce Jarrell, MD, FACS, University of Maryland, Baltimore President, with the assistance of his daughter, Gwynneth, BSN ’06. The walnut staff is topped with a bronze and copper replica of the School of Nursing alumni pin. The design of the steel mace holder is based on elements of the Maryland state flag and was created by Ukrainian blacksmith Anatoily Rudek in collaboration with Dr. Jarrell. The oak and ebony base was crafted by Dr. Jarrell’s sister, Bess Naylor, who earned a master’s degree from the School of Medicine in 1977. When not in use, the mace is prominently displayed in the School of Nursing lobby.

Letter from the Dean Dear Graduates,
To each of you, congratulations on completing your degree or certificate program. This is an important milestone in your career, whether you are entering the nursing profession or broadening your nursing knowledge and skills. Every nurse carries with him or her a “tool kit� that expands with experience and education. I know that you will use the tools that you have acquired while studying at the University of Maryland School of Nursing to make a difference in the world. For some of you, this will be through one-on-one interactions with patients and their families as they navigate an increasingly complex health care environment. For others, you will work with local and global communities and populations, striving to improve the places that we spend our time living, learning, and working. Some of you will generate new knowledge as nurse scientists, and others will apply your existing knowledge to improve practice. My hope is that some of you will consider a career as a nursing faculty member so that you can shape the next generation of nurses. To all of you, please stay in touch with us in the years to come. We are very proud of all your accomplishments and are honored to count you among our more than 25,000 University of Maryland School of Nursing alumni! With heartfelt congratulations,
Jane M. Kirschling, PhD, RN, FAAN Dean and Professor

The DAISY Awards
The DAISY (Disease Attacking the Immune System) Foundation was established in 1999 by the family of Patrick “Pat” Barnes, who died at 33 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. After his death, his family reflected on the amazing care he — and all the family — received from Pat’s nurses. As a result of their experience, the Barnes family believes that nurses are unsung heroes of our society, and The DAISY Foundation works specifically to say “thank you” to them. DAISY Award winners receive an award certificate, a pin, and the Healer’s Touch sculpture. Each sculpture is hand carved by artists of Zimbabwe’s Shona Tribe, which holds its healers in a position of great importance to the community. The DAISY Foundation supports 14 artists carving these sculptures; this is their only work, and with the money the foundation pays, some 500 people in the artists’ extended families are supported. These awards are presented to faculty and students who exemplify excellent patient care.
◆ THE DAISY AWARD FOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSING FACULTY — recognizing nursing faculty members for their commitment to education and for their inspirational influence on students Amanda Roesch, DNP, MPH, FNP-C Assistant Professor THE DAISY AWARD FOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSING STUDENTS — recognizing nursing graduates who provide outstanding compassion and care to patients and their families; this award is supported through a generous gift of Cynthia Sweeney, DNP, BSN ’76, RN, CNOR, NEA-BC, FAAN, Vice President of Nursing for the DAISY Foundation Katherine Maryann Couch (Clinical Nurse Leader) Lisa Eng (Bachelor of Science in Nursing)
