Retirements Professor Emerita, Janet Neuwirth For 32 years, Professor Janet Neuwirth has been a steadfast contributor to the Nursing department, facilitating the learning of more than 1,000 students. Her dynamic teaching style captures attention and engages intellectual thought. She is energetic, with a quick wit and a natural proclivity to enhance critical thinking and deductive reasoning. She has built a connection with and continued to serve as a link between the Nursing Department and the local communities and local medical institutions which has led to the development of quality clinical learning environments for CSB/SJU students. Janet goes above and beyond in course development and pedagogy. Throughout her tenure of teaching, Janet has stayed fresh and vibrant and a strong contributor to the department. She has been an incredible mentor and role model to students, faculty and colleagues and will be remembered for her kind, caring student-centered approach. One such instance was this year when the nursing faculty created a senior send-off video Janet’s section was particularly touching. She chose to start her portion by eating chocolate chip cookies and ended by showing a sign reading “Find time for your favorite things.” For over three decades, Janet has found time for her favorite thing – teaching. Thank you Janet, for your many years of service to the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University!
