Ann Steigleder

Ann Steigleder, a member of the Class of 1948 and a surgical nursing instructor at the School of Nursing from 1955 to 1965, passed away in August. As a faculty member under the leadership of Doris Yingling, dean of the school from 1958-1981, Steigleder helped shape the curriculum for a graduate program for nurses, the first in Virginia. She championed nursing education as part of a team-oriented integrated patient experience–a novel approach for that time. Former students remember her unconventional and progressive teaching style, with many noting her insistence for critical thinking and clinical reasoning as the foundation for their later success. With a bequest made at her passing, she established the Steigleder Endowed Chair for Research in the VCU School of Nursing, continuing her lifelong commitment to nursing research and leading change.
