Dr. Heidi Krowchuk, Dr. Susan Letvak, and Dr. Pamela Johnson Rowsey were presented with the excellence professorship, which was established to honor Dr. Eloise Lewis, the founding dean of the School of Nursing.
Krowchuk has served in key positions throughout her 29 years as a UNCG faculty member. As associate dean for academic programs, she has played an instrumental role in the planning of the new Nursing and Instructional Building that is scheduled to open in Fall 2020.
Letvak joined the nursing faculty as an assistant professor in 2000, and she currently oversees the School of Nursing’s Veterans Access Program as its coordinator. The program provides support for medically trained veterans to obtain a bachelor of science in nursing degree.
Rowsey came to UNCG as a professor and the department chair of Adult Health Nursing in 2016. She has been recognized locally, regionally, and nationally for her expertise in nursing education and research and ways to improve resources for historically underrepresented ethnic minority students.
Dr. Kelly Stamp, department chair of Family and Community Nursing, was the only Eloise R. Lewis Excellence Professor prior to the newest appointments. The professorship includes a stipend and research funding.
