About the Award

This award is possible due to the generous support of Terry Moore and his wife Carleen K. Moore, RN. Carleen K. Moore worked as an LPN for almost fifteen years before returning to nursing school to become an RN. She then worked in the Critical Care Units at the Midland Medical Center for the next eleven years before retiring from full-time nursing in 2001. Carleen and her husband, Terry, believe in the importance of recognizing and encouraging nurses who demonstrate excellence in their field, and promoting the reputation of Saginaw Valley State University and the SVSU Nursing Program.
