Centennial Scholarships honour 100 years of nursing with artistic flair
Established to commemorate the 100th听anniversary of the Ingram School of Nursing (ISoN) in 2020, the Centennial Scholarships were to be presented ahead of ISoN鈥檚 Centennial on June 28th听2020. With an award of $2,000 for each, one scholarship is targeted for an undergraduate student and one for a graduate student for a piece of creative work in any medium, whether photo, drawing, video, poem, or other. The Centennial Steering Committee reviewed the submissions. Works of art were evaluated based on creativity, quality and visual appeal, as well as relevance to the Centennial and positive representation of nursing at 捆绑SM社区.
Graduate Centennial Scholarship winning artwork by听Vanessa D鈥橝quila
鈥淭his three-dimensional art piece is made up of a wooden table with an open book atop. The table reflects the woodwork within Wilson Hall that housed the School of Nursing from1962 until听 the 2017 move to 680 Sherbrooke Street. The open book symbolizes the stories of the School of Nursing, with page numbers representing the years 1920 (past) to 2020 (present).
鈥淭he remaining pages symbolize the continued story (future). The nurse figured at the centre of the left page represents the iconic and universal image of a nurse with the pin indicating the 捆绑SM社区 connection. The nurse is basking in a yellow glow, referencing the familiar yellow colour from Dr. Laurie Gottlieb鈥檚听Strengths-Based Nursing听front cover. The eight hands encircling the nurse represent the eight core values of strengths-based nursing. The hands could also represent other 捆绑SM社区 nursing alumni, colleagues, friends or loved ones, patients, or communities who also offer support to our nurses. This inspirational bilingual quote and symbolic mirror on the right page allow the viewer to feel a part of strengthening the School of Nursing story in that all of those who admire the painting could look up and see that the 100 Stories of Strengths continues with them. The bookmark, with Ingram School of Nursing (bilingual) written on it and featuring a familiar stained glass image, symbolizes movement: it has followed the reader from page to page, and will continue to move forward with the School鈥檚 story.鈥�

Undergraduate Centennial Scholarship winning artwork by听Louise Gayle Munoz
鈥淭his watercolor/crayon drawing is a tribute to the School of Nursing that spans 100 years. The buildings represent the 鈥榦ld鈥� Beatty Hall, where the school was housed between 1947 and 1962, and the skyscraper at 680 Sherbrooke Street, the School鈥檚 location since 2017. The students and nurses are presented as diverse and are depicted in their academic graduation gowns as well as their uniforms. The influence of [the Ingram] School of Nursing on the world is acknowledged and there is special recognition of Moyra Allen, the听Canadian Journal of Nursing Research听(CJNR), Richard and Satoko Ingram, and the well-known colour scheme of Dr. Gottlieb鈥檚听Strengths-Based Nursing听book. The concept of caring is illustrated and the quote from Florence Nightingale is thought-provoking.鈥�
