Ada Lindsey, Ph.D., announces plans to retire as College of Nursing dean

Ada Lindsey, Ph.D., professor and dean of the College of Nursing at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, has announced her plans for retirement, effective July 31, 2003. She has served as dean of the College of Nursing since March 1, 1995.

“The timing is right,” said Dr. Lindsey. “I’ve been working in nursing education for more than 40 years and will have served as dean at UNMC for more than eight years. I’ve always felt that it’s good for institutions to have a change in leadership at least every decade. “
