Mary C. (Kay) Harren, a longtime faculty member in the School of Nursing, died Feb. 6. She was 90.

Harren joined the nursing school faculty in 1966, teaching child health and psychiatric nursing.

She served as assistant dean from 1980 until she retired in 1987 as an associate professor emeritus.

Jan Feigenbaum, clinical professor in the nursing school, says Harren was known as "a passionate student advocate and an amazing teacher."
