I will use the Science and Art of Nursing to improve functioning, alleviate suffering, and promote wholeness and integrity of being, whether cure is anticipated or not. I will honor the Nurse-Patient relationship as the locus for healing, and enter into it unreservedly while maintaining boundaries that respect privacy and foster trust. I will maintain the ethical principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, fidelity and veracity, guarding the patients right to autonomy and seeking justice for all in my care. I claim the same duties and rights for myself as a condition of our common humanity. I will collaborate with all team members to deliver the highest quality care possible, assuming and delegating tasks responsibly, observing, assessing, and evaluating the patients response in order to guide and revise the plan of care. I will use technology mindfully, never forgetting that I am the primary and ultimate vehicle for assuring the patients safety. I will protect Planet Earth as our home, knowing that fresh air, clean water, sunlight, nutritious food and companionship are the birthright of all and essential to the maintenance of our collective and individual health. I will work for social justice and equity, opposing systems that support disparities and structural inequalities, and seeking to identify and eliminate my own implicit biases. I will endeavor to mentor even as I continue to learn, to grow, and to share in the advancement of the profession I love. And I will hold hope for the future. Above all I will heed the admonition of our Sister, Florence Nightingale, Live life while you have it. Life is a splendid gift there is nothing small about it. 501 College Drive | Charlottesville, VA 22902-7589 | www.pvcc.edu  ...

BRATTON ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE Professor of Chemistry Dr. Bratton, professor of chemistry at PVCC, is one of 11 winners of the 1993 Outstanding Faculty Awards presented by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. "I teach because I Jove doing it. And it is an important thing to do," he says. "It is the way th.at I can make the most difference. Thank the Lord I can teach. It is almost embarrassing, the high I get when a class hour really works or even when a single student has a 'eureka ' experience with a difficult concept." That enthusiasm has made Dr. Bratton's classes among the most popular wherever they are taught-to students at PVCC, to teachers learning how to teach chemistry, or to kindergartners attending the science fun shows he takes to elementary schools. He is currently working with two professors from the University of Virginia on a four-year project to instruct elementary school teachers on methods of teaching physical science. Dr. Bratton, a member of the founding faculty at PVCC, received his bachelor of science in chemistry from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh. This is the second time in the seven-year history of the Outstanding Faculty Awards th.at a PVCC nominee has been selected. Evelyn Edson, professor of history, was a winner in 1990. PVCC is the only community college to have two recipients. Recipients of the award each receive cash prizes of $5,000, made possible from appropriations by Gov. L.

The teaching guild was the guild of the master of arts; the bachelor was the apprentice of the master. At Cambridge and Oxford, every detail of academic dress is subject to regulation by the university. At one time, Oxford tailors who did not comply with the rules could be punished by the vice chancellor of the university. European universities continue to show great diversity in academic dress. American colleges and universities, however, have followed a single standard of academic dress since 1895. The gown has become a symbol of the democracy of scholarship as it covers dress indicating rank or social standing. Bachelor's and master's degree gowns have no trimming; the doctor's degree gown is faced with velvet and has velvet bars on the sleeves in colors to show the faculty or discipline to which the degree pertains. The cap symbolizes freedom of scholarship. The symbol derives from Roman times when freed slaves had tl1e privilege of wearing a cap. Academic caps feature a tassel indicating the discipline of the wearer. The hood is tl1e forerunner to the present cap. Its colors denote the discipline represented by the degree, and the college or university from which the degree was granted. THE CEREMONIAL MACE The Piedmont Virginia Community College mace was presented to the college by University of Virginia President Robert M. O'Neil in 1988. The gift honored PVCC President George B. Vaughan as he prepared to leave the college and also signified the close working relationship that had developed between the two institutions. The mace is a traditional ceremonial staff which serves as a symbol of authority. The PVCC mace is made of silver and walnut and incorporates a Jefferson cup into its design. It was created by John J . Owen, retired vice president for development at the University of Virginia. STATE BOARD FOR CoMMUNTIY COLI.EGES Kenneth V. Geroe, Chair Robert P.
