Director Dr. Eurina Cha
Aloha!
I'm absolutely delighted to be joining California State University, Los Angeles! It's an honor to be entrusted with leading the Patricia A. Chin School of Nursing as the new Director.
For over 32 years, I've dedicated myself to patient care across various healthcare settings. This experience, combined with my passion for education and research, fuels my desire to make a real difference in the field of nursing.
I'm deeply committed to both pre-licensure and graduate nursing education. Fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment where students from all backgrounds can thrive is a core value I hold dear. Witnessing the success of the new nursing programs I helped develop at Chaminade University of Honolulu only strengthens my belief in the power of innovation and collaboration.
My research focus tackles a crucial challenge: reducing health disparities faced by underprivileged populations. Securing grants and leading impactful projects in this area has been incredibly rewarding, knowing we're making a positive change in people's lives.
I'm truly excited to build upon the strong foundation of the Patricia A. Chin School of Nursing and achieve new levels of excellence.
