van Ameringen Chair in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing: Loretta Sweet Jemmott

Loretta Sweet Jemmott

Professor of Nursing Loretta Sweet Jemmott, has been named the holder of the van Ameringen Chair in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, effective July 1.

"There is no greater honor that Penn Nursing can bestow on a stellar faculty member than the award of an endowed chair. It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce the appointment of Dr. Jemmott to the van Ameringen chair," said School of Nursing Dean Afaf Meleis in making the announcement.

Dr. Jemmott, a highly regarded advisor to the National Institutes of Health on HIV-related research, has recently led a productive and successful interdisciplinary research team as director of Penn Nursing's Center for Urban Health Research. Her work in developing evidence-based curricula encompassing strategies to stem the rate of HIV infection among at risk adolescents is nationally and internationally known. The Centers for Disease Control have adopted the curricula as a national model.

"Dr. Jemmott is a popular and effective teacher and a dedicated mentor to students in nursing and other departments at the University of Pennsylvania," said Dr. Meleis. "Her advocacy on behalf of students of color, dedication to their scholarly development, and her articulation of critical diversity issues in the School are noteworthy."
