Professor Jennifer Tate was nominated by several of her students for the prestigious 2023 DAISY Award. According to her students, Professor Tate always goes above and beyond while teaching. She cared about each and every student and wants the best for all. When teaching, she always thought "outside of the box" to make the concepts easy to understand. The passion that she exhibits and the way she taught helped the students comprehend difficult topics. The knowledge, leadership, optimism, compassion, empathy, and excitement Professor Tate possesses for the profession are contagious and make me excited for the future of nursing.
