🎉 We are excited to share that the second $20,000 2024 Maryland Italian Festival Grant has been awarded to the University of Maryland, Baltimore School of Nursing for the Shari L Simone Scholarship, presented by the Society of Italian American Businessmen.
This grant will support a scholarship in memory of nurse and UMSON alumna Shari Simone, who passed away unexpectedly on July 8. To honor Shari's legacy, the Shari L. Simone Scholarship will support students in the @marylandnursing School's Pediatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Doctor of Nursing Practice Program. Graduates of this program provide family-centered and culturally respectful care for pediatric patients with acute, complex, critical, and chronic illnesses across a variety of care settings, working closely with an interprofessional team to provide the highest level of evidence-based care for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. Collectively, our hope is that her memory and legacy will support future generations of much need pediatric nurse practitioners. Those in attendance accepting this award were Dean Yolanda Ogbolu and Associate Dean Stacey M. Conrad from the University of Maryland School of Nursing, and Shari’s Family.
Together, we’re making a difference in our community!

#1 On your Christmas List By 1910, New Haven Connecticut was booming. Wooster Square was called ‘Little Naples’, its own enclave where Italian was spoken in all the shops, banks, churches and doctors’ offices. Meet Tony, as streetwise boy, and Louisa, his fashionable muse, a star-crossed pair. One from the South, one from the North, one living in the Square, one on The Hill; both Italian emigrants trying to fit into their new home. But old family habits and prejudices die hard. Let Michael Rumbin take you back a step in time to meet colorful characters, hear witty dialogue, enjoy great food and long-lasting contributions our ancestors created for all of us to share and enjoy.
