AMHERST, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a $1 million gift from two alumni to create a new center that will forge new collaborations between nurses and engineers, bringing together two fields that can improve personal well-being and save lives.
Committing $1 million in seed funding to help establish the Center for Nursing and Engineering Innovation, Michael ’76 and Theresa (Murphy) ’77 Hluchyj hope the center will be a place where nurses and engineers can collaborate on clinical solutions in new ways. “We are excited to support UMass in this new initiative,” says Michael Hluchyj. “Innovation is often accelerated at the intersection of different academic disciplines. The worldwide health crises resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic make clear the critical need for innovative solutions in clinical settings where both nursing and engineering play vital roles.”
