Rev: 7734 Dean’s Perspective Dear Alumni and Friends,

The past year has been an exciting one for the College of Nursing. We received federal funding to establish a graduate program in homeland security nursing, the first of its kind in the nation. The announcement, which was picked up by national news networks, generated much excitement, and we immediately began receiving inquiries about the program from across the nation. In part because of this new frontier, the doctoral program grew exponentially.

Early last year, the university launched the “Ready for the World” initiative, an ambitious plan to help students gain the international and intercultural knowledge they need to succeed in today’s global society. The plan calls for inter‑ nationalizing the curriculum and providing opportunities for students to study abroad. Many of the activities that the College of Nursing faculty and students were engaged in fit well into this initiative. We have interacted with various cultures, both at home and abroad, and some of these are described in this issue of the Nursing Report. Our course, “Transcultural Nursing,” was already in place, and we continue to embrace new ideas to expand students’ horizons, expose them to multicultural perspectives, and make them “Ready for the World.”

College of Nursing graduates continue to be in demand. At the time of graduation in May 2006, 50 percent of the BSN graduates had accepted positions in the Knoxville area, 26 percent had accepted positions in other Tennessee locations, 14 percent had accepted positions out of state (two of which were military assignments), and 10 percent were still undecided where they would work. August 2006 graduates from the nurse anesthesia specialty were hired before the ink on their diplomas was dry, and master’s graduates with other clinical specialties were also in high demand. Sev‑ eral of our doctoral graduates assumed nursing faculty positions.

We recently hosted the 5th Annual Scholarship Banquet, which recognizes our generous donors and outstanding scholars. Donors and guests who have attended from the beginning remarked how much this event has grown over the years. It is to the credit of our generous donors that scholarship endowments have increased, thus providing more money to distribute to deserving students. If you wish to contribute to one of the scholarship funds or establish a new endowment, please call the Development Office at 865‑974-2755.

Once again, I extend my gratitude to you for your loyal support of the College of Nursing. You have made a big differ‑ ence in the lives of our students by helping us to maintain the standard of excellence by which we have built our pro‑ grams. It is with your continued support that we can scale to even greater heights in nursing education.

Warm regards,

NURSING REPORT Winter 2007 NURSING REPORT Winter 2007 What About Your House? Do you have plans for your house? Not the blueprints that the carpenters used, nor any plan for remodeling, but plans for final disposition. For many of us, our homes represent the single most valuable asset in our estates. This is true not only in a monetary sense but in other respects, as well. Perhaps you raised your family in this dwelling place and it has become a storehouse of many precious memories. The four walls have witnessed sorrows and joys, trials and successes, romance, friendship, and many other personal experiences. It has been a place of refuge and comfort, a shelter from the clamor and stresses of life. Yet someday, other owners will walk through the front door and claim every nook and cranny as their own. They will begin building their own memories. As you look down the road and consider various ways you might transfer ownership of your house, here are three charitable plans to think about. G iVE and stay First, you can give your home to the University of Tennessee and continue to live there as long as you want. The advantage is that you receive an income-tax charitable deduction to apply against taxes for as many as 6 years. You also relieve yourself from having to worry about selling or disposing of your home later when you are enmeshed in health needs or other concerns. This gift arrangement is called “the life-reserved plan,” and it may fit your particular needs. GiVE and receive income A second gift option is to transfer ownership of your home (or vacation home) to the University of Tennessee in exchange for a lifetime stream of income. The university will take care of selling your home. Such a plan could work well should you intend to move into a senior community or other retirement setting. This plan also provides an income-tax charitable deduction. GiVE and sell A third plan involves a combination of giving and selling your house. For example, Mr. and Mrs. Homeowner are ready to move into a retirement village and need to dispose of their house. They want to use part of the proceeds to create an endowment at the UTK College of Nursing, but they also need the infusion of cash to enhance their investment income. Consequently they split the property in half and give the university a 50-percent undivided interest and retain the other half for themselves. The university will sell the property and divide the proceeds. By including the university, they not only receive an income tax charitable deduction but also obtain assistance in the selling process. In this short article it is impossible to present all the ways and benefits of using your home to meet your personal needs and to accomplish your charitable goals. For more information on giving opportunities, please contact the college’s Development Office at 865-974-3597. PROGNOSIS: FOCUS ON THE FUTURE
