Omega Delta Chapter

Three of our amazing Sigma board members Cindy Paradiso (Philanthropy Chair), Michelle Novominski (Vice President), and Catherine Finlayson (Secretary) attended the annual ANA-NY convention this past week! 

Dr. Paradiso gave an amazing presentation addressing the lack of cannabis education in nursing curricula and its impact on patient care. She is also a member of the education committee of ANA-NY. Michelle Novominski attended the convention as a Future Nurse Leader Awardee and is a member of the Young Professionals Special Interest Group, which helps foster professional development, leadership, and camaraderie among the younger generations of ANA-NY members. Dr. Finlayson tabled with the Political Action Committee and helped raise funds to support state legislators and candidates seeking elected office who champion the nursing profession. 

Our board is making a mark in the nursing world! 

Congratulations to Lienhard School of Nursing PhD in Nursing student, Amir Islam, on receiving the 2025 Omega Delta Research Grant for his study: "Digital Empowerment for South Asian Immigrants: An Intervention for Metabolic Syndrome (DESI-METS).

Good evening Sigma members!

Serving on the board this past year has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my nursing journey. Now, we're looking for more leaders to join the board!

As the current Leadership Succession Committee Chair of Sigma Omega Delta, I can genuinely say that serving on the board has been one of the best experiences. It's given me the chance to grow as a leader and collaborate with peers. I helped organize the Heart Health Awareness event where 20+ students practiced Code Blue simulations, participated in skills stations, and heard presentations from two cardiac speakers. I helped conduct a Chipotle fundraiser for our chapter and started a social media account to connect with new members and boost engagement. Whether you're passionate about service, events, education, or advocacy, there's a role that can align with your interests and help shape the future of our chapter.
