The Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) granted the 2023 Dr. Peg E. Daw Nurse Faculty Annual Recognition Awards (NFAR), recognizing faculty for their contributions to nursing education and service to Maryland nursing students.
This award has been renamed in honor of Dr. Peg E. Daw, former Nurse Support Program (NSP) II Grant Administrator and fierce advocate for nursing education in the state of Maryland. Dr. Daw passed away in December 2022.
