The Loewenberg School of Nursing at The University of Memphis has again received accreditation from the National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission. The group's latest accreditation is valid through 2010.

The evaluation is based on a self-study report, the School catalog and a program evaluator report. The Commission noted as areas of strength the leadership of the School's nurse administrator, support for the nursing program, and the integrity of the School's curriculum.

"I am grateful that we continue to be blessed by outstanding students, faculty and staff, and community support," said Dr. Toni Bargagliotti, the School's dean. "Their work makes this accreditation outcome possible."

The Loewenberg School, established in 1980, has 304 students and 20 faculty members. Its students have consistently had an extremely high rate of passage on licensure exams; the latest such rate is 99 percent.
