Final Call to Duty Ceremony

Several Viterbo alumnae and faculty volunteer with a special group in Wisconsin to honor and respect their nursing colleagues who have passed. From left: Kim (Brownell) Thurk, RN ’84, faculty member Rowan Hart, and Teresa (Houlihan) Hollnagel, MSN, RN ’88 offer their services with the Wisconsin Nurses Honor Guard.

Hollnagel volunteered at a recent ceremony, “As a professional nurse, I believe that we owe it to our brothers and sisters in nursing to honor their service to others by remembering them through a Final Call to Duty ceremony. It is the ultimate, respectful thing to do.”

The Viterbo Eight

These Viterbo alumni met through their Viterbo Master of Arts in Education program and graduated together in 2009. Fourteen years later, this group of women from Green Bay and surrounding areas are more than educators networking over careers and classrooms. They are known as The Viterbo Eight and created lasting friendship where all eight support one another through life’s ups and downs, share milestones and career news, and cherish their frequent get-togethers.

Read what the Viterbo Eight say about their bond and what it means to them today.
