Description	Eloise R. 'Pattie' Lewis (1920-1999) helped create the School of Nursing at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). She served as the first dean of the School of Nursing from 1966-1985. Lewis talks about her background, education and US Army service during World War II. She describes coming to UNCG, the struggle to get a nursing program placed at UNCG and the development of the program. She discusses the school's interactions with the local medical community, the move towards national accreditation, and the eventual addition of a Sigma Theta Tau chapter on campus. She recalls the first class of nursing students, the construction of the nursing building, the first male student in the program and the addition of the master's program.
