On May 28, Dean Jacqueline Dunbar-Jacob was recognized for her appointment as a Distinguished Service Professor of Nursing at Pitt. This honor recognizes distinctive contributions and outstanding service to the University community in support of its teaching, research, and service missions; performance excellence in the faculty member’s department or school; and national stature in his or her discipline or field.
