Honorees Allender, Stittich, and De La Cruz-Reyes

The Central California Nursing Hall of Fame at Fresno State honored four new members this fall at a ceremony on Sept. 14. The 2005 inductees were Dr. Judy Allender, Eleanor Stittich, Carolyn Tanaka, and Pilar DeLa Cruz-Reyes. The awards were given to recognize their lifetime contributions to nursing. This was a remarkable ceremony and reflected on their accomplishments in education, leadership, and military nursing.

It is clear that the central valley has a rich history of nursing excellence as other nominees included Doreta Annis, Judy Dorn, Cindy Collier, and Ruby Hennesy.

Advantages of membership include opportunities to attend continuing education courses, research conferences and social events connected with the department.

Members also are automatically enrolled as members of the Fresno State Alumni Association, and revenues from the chapter are used to help purchase new equipment and supplies for the nursing program. Additionally, the chapter has provided scholarships for nursing students.
