The Nursing Experience with Mary Dewar

US Cadet Nurse Corps veteran, Mary Dewar will be on campus for a moderated conversation about her book, “Behind the Red Curtain: Mary Reed Dewar in her own words”.

Dewar—who in 1970 also joined the faculty of the then-School of Nursing at Adelphi to teach community health nursing—said she became a cadet nurse in 1946, by which time World War II was over. While she didn’t go overseas to serve the war effort, she did travel the world to serve in other ways—first in China in the ’40s and in Angola in the ’50s, then in Northern Rhodesia and Ghana in the ’60s and Switzerland in 1968.

This event is part of Adelphi Nurses Week.
