Karagory wins Murphy Award, named fellow of NLN
Pam Karagory, interim head and clinical associate professor in the School of Nursing, has received the Charles B. Murphy Award, Purdue’s highest undergraduate teaching honor.
The award recognizes models of excellent undergraduate education while celebrating the memory of Charles B. Murphy, a Purdue history professor from 1927 to 1970.
The School of Nursing selects nominees based on teaching excellence, student and faculty mentoring, and engagement activities that enhance its mission and vision. It nominated Karagory based on her excellence in classroom instruction, leadership within the school with support of undergraduate expansion, faculty mentoring and professional development, and outstanding interdisciplinary engagement. Karagory’s work focuses on nursing leadership, innovations in quality improvement, patient safety and health care systems.
In addition to the Murphy Award, she was recently named a fellow of the National League for Nursing (NLN), the premier organization for nursing faculty and leaders within nursing education. With 40,000 individual and 1,200 institutional members, the NLN represents nursing education programs across higher education, health care organizations and agencies.
