FORT KENT — Twenty-five current University of Maine at Fort Kent nursing students were inducted into the UMFK Nursing Honor Society at a special ceremony held April 24, in the Nadeau Hall teleconference room.
Among the 25 students welcomed into the nursing honor society was: Lyndsi M. Voisine (Hodgdon). All students have excelled in the four-year bachelor of science in nursing program at UMFK and are very active in campus activities.
The UMFK Nursing Honor Society was formed in the spring of 1998 for the purpose of recognizing and fostering academic excellence and scholarship among students, alumni, and community leaders in nursing.
Students with a grade point average of 3.0 or above, in the top 30 percent of their graduating class, and who represent the attributes of scholarship as defined by Boyer (1990) and Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society for Nursing, were eligible for induction to the Honor Society.
