Eloi and Arnaud Receive McGovern Awards
The two Cizik School of Nursing faculty members selected by students to receive the 2022 John P. McGovern Outstanding Teacher of the Year Awards are both repeat winners –Hildreth Eloi, DNP, MS, RN, andMyron Arnaud, DNP, CRNA.
Made possible by an endowment from the John P. McGovern Foundation, the award recognizes excellence in teaching. It is presented each year to one undergraduate and one graduate faculty member at Cizik School of Nursing.
“Dr. Eloi and Dr. Arnaud serve as outstanding role models and mentors to our students year after year, so it is no surprise they are both receiving this award for the second time,” said Dean Diane Santa Maria, DrPH, RN, FAAN.
本科生选择了教授妇产科和生殖健康的助理教授Eloi。她在2020年获得了第一个麦戈文奖。
Students say Eloi’s passion for nursing is “infectious” and that she delivers each lecture with boundless enthusiasm for the profession. She is known as one of the most accessible professors at the Cizik School of Nursing, always willing to make time for her students and engage with them.
“Dr. Eloi cares deeply about her students. She wants them to succeed academically but personally as well. She provides ideas and coping mechanisms for balancing school and personal life,” wrote one student who nominated Eloi. “She makes it her life’s work to be there for each student and is the most caring, sweet, and compassionate professor I’ve ever had.”
Eloi received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from American Sentinel University and her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
Graduate students chose Arnaud, an associate professor who serves as the director of the Nurse Anesthesia Division at the Cizik School of Nursing. He also received a McGovern Award in 2017.
Arnaud’s students say that he teaches in a way that helps them fully grasp complicated material and concepts. He also encourages students to think critically and has a deep desire to see them succeed.
“There is nothing quite like a lecture from Dr. Arnaud,” said one student. “He takes up the entire classroom, shares stories, and draws pictures – all with great animation. As a result, his students stay engaged, and the material really sticks!”
Arnaud在uthealth的麻醉学部门作为认证的注册护士麻醉师（CRNA）在临床上练习，为休斯顿的Harris Health Health Lyndon Baines Johnson Hospital提供了多样化的人群和各种外科手术学科的临床麻醉。他从贝勒医学院的Layfette的路易斯安那大学收到了BSN，MSN的护士麻醉，以及Cizik护理学院的DNP。
