Spring/Summer 2026 As Seen in Our Spring/Summer 2026 Issue

Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Assistant Professor Sarah Allgood, ’09, ’17, received the Nurse Support Program II (NSP II) Dr. Peg E. Daw Nurse Faculty Annual Recognition (NFAR) Award for FY 2026. The award recognizes nurse faculty members who demonstrate excellence in teaching, engage in the life of the nursing program and college or university, and contribute to the profession as nurse educators.

(Pictured with this article are Class of 2021 DNP graduates who, due to COVID restrictions, were unable to celebrate with an in-person hooding ceremony.) Alumni Weekend 2026 culminated with a special opportunity for these alumni to finally mark the occasion with family and friends.)
