Dr. Sullivan’s contributions to the Distance Nursing Program at California State University, Fullerton can not be overemphasized. We are grateful for her assistance in getting this program started in 2000 and in enabled countless students who could not attend a campus-based program to achieve their Bachelor’s Degree. Wishing comfort to her family.
