The development of nursing practice and research does not happen in a vacuum.

Miracle 2013 iii HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE CREATION OF INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL CAPITAL: A STUDENT ORGANIZATION ETHNOGRAPHY Jeffrie W. Miracle, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 Higher education is often credited with being an effective means for an individual to invest in and acquire skills and knowledge—often referred to as human capital. Participating in higher education may also provide an individual with the opportunity to build valuable relationships with individuals that result in access to resources such as information, the mutual exchange of favors, emotional support and career networking—often referred to as social capital. While it is understood that higher education is an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate human capital, it is not as clearly understood how higher education can be an effective way for an individual to invest in and accumulate other forms of capital, such as social capital.

  • Who We Are Dean’S Welcome
    WHO WE ARE DEAN’S WELCOME Dear friends, This month I took part in my fifth year of graduation and commencement ceremonies at NYU as dean. What an excit- ing time! To see students work so hard and then finally walk across the stage to receive their diplomas, and, for many, enter a new stage in their lives, is the highlight of my year. We have prepared our recent graduates to become leaders at a critical moment in healthcare—a time to reimagine how best to deliver high-quality, affordable care. As nurses, we are uniquely positioned to develop and implement the inno- vation required to tackle this challenge, and more broadly, the world’s most pressing issues like poverty, mental health, climate change, chronic illness, substance abuse, and the effects of an aging population. We know our new graduates—the extraordinary class of 2017—will rise to the challenge. I hope you will join me in saluting them. In the spring issue of NYU Nursing, we are proud to STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY showcase who we are and you will: AND INCLUSION • Explore the US-China relationship and the two countries’ WELCOME. shared healthcare challenges; NEW YORK UNIVERSITY RORY MEYERS COLLEGE • OF NURSING is committed to the inclusion and Meet Assistant Professor Yzette Lanier, a developmental support of individuals and ideas from all who psychologist studying HIV behavioral intervention; comprise our multicultural community.

Maxine Bruhns A fresco depicting Ciurlionis’ famous paint- ing The Two Kings portrays the reverence Lithuanians have for their villages. This mu- ral sets the tone for a room that pays tribute to the symbolism and love of nature and home reflected in Lithuanian folk art. The door bears a carved rosette, symbol of fire. Above, a stylized sun between two horses’ heads represents light and sound be- lieved to ward off evil spirits. The white oak molding of intersecting scallops resembles decorations found on farm granaries, or klei- tis. Names of famous Lithuanians are carved Two Kings on the frieze above the blackboard. The wall linen is woven in a design called “The Path of the Birds,” framed by white oak and rare bog oak. Black or bog oak acquires its deep hue while submerged in a marshy bog for decades. Farmers thus preserve prime trees to make furniture pieces that are treasured as heirlooms. The professor’s chair is of bog oak. The desk is modeled after a household table, and the lectern incorporates details of a spinning wheel spindle. Stu- dent chairs are carved with a design found on household utensils. On the ra- diator enclosure, perforated with a design of wild rue leaves, stands a sculp- ture of the “School of Sorrows” depicting a mother teaching her son the for- bidden Lithuanian language.
