Robert and Susan Doroghazi Faculty Awards for Distinction in Service, Research, and Teaching were first bestowed in 2004. Susan Cass Doroghazi, MS, RN, FNP, earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing at TWU and currently is a cardiology-cardiovascular nurse at Boone Hospital Center in Columbia, Mo., and an adjunct faculty member at Columbia College.

“I feel very strongly that I received a superb nursing education from TWU,” Mrs. Doroghazi said. “I wouldn’t have had the opportunities I have had professionally if it weren’t for the faculty at TWU".

Because of her strong commitment to the mission of Texas Woman’s University College of Nursing, she and her husband established the faculty excellence awards in 2004. Each recipient is also presented with a $2000 stipend. Susan and Robert Doroghazi established a fund to award Texas Woman’s University College of Nursing faculty awards for Excellence in Teaching, Excellence in Research, and Excellence in Service.
