Note
Pin owner Judith Moran-Peters, DNSc, RN, NE-C, BC: "D"Youville College was established at the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart, an order of nuns founded by Saint Marguerite D'Youville in Montreal, Canada. Originally it was a private, all girls school with a focus on Nursing and Teaching majors. Over the past 30 years, the school has greatly expanded to include over 30 majors and programs...and inclusive of all genders."
