Medical library digitizes YSN archives
As part of the School of Nursing’s 90th anniversary, the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library digitized a large collection of YSN alumni newsletters and memorabilia dating from 1926 through 2004. These publications, evolving in title and format, provide a fascinating and personable look into the school’s equally proud and rich history, covering the inaugural graduating class, wars and peacetime, school relocations, new deans, and societal changes and ideals.

Nursing alumna receives Yale Medal
Nina Relin Adams ’69MS, ’77MSN, is one of six individuals recently selected by the Association of Yale Alumni (AYA) to receive the Yale Medal for 2013. Adams has served Yale in many volunteer roles before, during, and since she retired from her 20-plus years as an adult nurse practitioner at Yale University Health Services and as a YSN faculty member. She has served as cochair of YSN class agents, on the executive committee of the board of the Yale Annual Fund, and as reader and planner for the annual YSN Creative Writing Awards. Inaugurated in 1952, the Yale Medal is the highest award presented by the AYA and is conferred solely to recognize and honor outstanding individual service to the university.
