Good-bye to Ann Windsor: Teacher, mentor, friend

This May, the SoN community will say good-bye to Clinical Associate Professor Ann Windsor, who has been with us for the past 21 years. She will retire after the 2004 spring semester.

Ann began her academic career as an assistant professor at Indiana University in Indianapolis in 1975. In August of 1983, she accepted a position as lecturer at the School of Nursing. The following year, she was appointed assistant professor and in 1987 was promoted to clinical associate professor.

We have had the good fortune to share in Ann’s leadership in clinical teaching and her expertise in clinical practice and service. She has offered clinical experiences in acute care, ambulatory care, obstetrics and operating room procedure. She helped develop a new clinical site at Sauk-Prairie Memorial Hospital. She provided course learning in urinary catheterization to 2^nd year medical students. Ann has been a gifted mentor to honors students and a faculty volunteer for new student orientations. Her volunteer activities in the community have included work with TB clinics, Red Cross Bloodmobile, St. Mary’s Care Center and the Alliance for the Mentally Ill. She has been loved by her students and well respected by her peers for her academic and service contributions. We will miss you, Ann.

A celebration to recognize her contributions and achievements will be held on Wednesday, May 19, 2004, from 4:00 to 7:00 pm at Lakeview Park (Mendota St. and Allen Blvd.) in Middleton.
