LIVINGSTON, Ala.--In a Thursday [Oct. 25] ceremony, University of West Alabama officials, students, alumni and friends will dedicate the Dorothy S. Saad Nursing Wing in Brock Hall, home of the University’s Ira D. Pruitt Division of Nursing.
 

The 3:30 p.m. public ceremony in Webb Hall Parlor will honor the financial commitment of UWA trustee and 1975 business administration graduate Alexander J. Saad of Mobile. In honor of his generosity, the wing will be named for his late mother, a member of the Alabama Nursing Hall of Fame.
 

UWA’s nursing division was established over three decades ago. Accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission, the division ranks in the top 10 percent of Alabama programs, all-time, for the number of graduates who pass the national registered nurse licensure exam.
