| Madison , WI-- A historical tea is scheduled for Saturday, June 17 at 2:30 p.m. at the Health Sciences Learning Center (HSLC) in Madison, Wisconsin. University of Wisconsin-Madison nursing alumni and friends are invited to peruse historical exhibits at the HSLC before indulging in an assortment of teas, champagne, finger sandwiches and hors ‘d oeuvres, followed by a style show of historical nursing uniforms.
Proceeds from this event will go toward construction of a nursing sciences building on the University’s world-renowned Health Sciences campus. The building will be home to the Signe Skott Cooper and Hilda Skott Historical Suite.
The guest of honor will be professor emerita Signe Skott Cooper (’43 ZC, ’48 BS) who is “well-loved, greatly respected and nationally recognized,” according to Coleen Southwell, UW Foundation director of development for the School of Nursing.
Tea guests will have the opportunity to view one of the School’s recent gift acquisitions: an 1860, rare edition of Florence Nightingale’s Notes on Nursing, the 136-page primer that served as a cornerstone for nursing curriculum.
Tickets are $35.00 per person. For sponsorship, volunteer or ticket information, contact Marsha Callahan at 608-265-9234. |
