Westwood : Endowed Chair Campaign

The UCLA School of Nursing has launched a campaign to establish the school’s first endowed chair, which will be named after the school’s founding dean, Lulu Wolf Hassenplug.

A goal of $500,000 has been set. The money will be invested, with interest going to support research and other activities of the faculty member who will be named later to hold the position.

Hassenplug was dean of the UCLA School of Nursing from 1948 to 1968. She instituted bachelor’s and master’s degree programs for nurses and participated in state and federal groups to encourage reform in nursing education and service.
