We want to express our gratitude to Lynn Morton, Ph.D., the 12th President of William Peace University, during the final days of her presidency.

Her expert guidance and belief in Peace's mission has laid the foundation for our future success. Board of Trustees Chair Rob Wood affirmed President Morton's contributions: "During her tenure, she has transformed every aspect of the University and prepared it for future growth. She has raised our institutional profile, created new pathways to a Peace education, forged valuable partnerships, and further strengthened our culture." To honor her meaningful service, the University surprised President Morton with an honorary degree at Commencement, celebrating her dedication to Peace.

As we look forward to welcoming Jennifer E. Walsh as our 13th president on June 1, 2026, we invite you to share your kind words and memories of President Morton in the comments below!

To close out the celebration of National Nurses week, we are reflecting on the evolving definition of 'nursing excellence' and how our RN to BSN curriculum empowers nurses to lead change in the healthcare field!

At William Peace University, we emphasize critical thinking and evidence-based solutions, enabling our students to tackle current challenges in nursing and patient care. Our program fosters a strong sense of community among working RNs, providing support as they balance their professional and educational journeys.

As we celebrate the power of nurses, we take pride in our graduates who are stepping into impactful roles. From presenting leadership projects to advocating for patient care, our alumni are making a difference in the healthcare landscape.
