Dear SONHP Community,
It is with great sadness that I share that Jeffrey Hwang, Adjunct Professor/Clinical Instructor, passed away peacefully on April 4, 2025, surrounded by his family.
We are deeply appreciative of the unique contributions made by Jeffrey, our Adjunct Clinical Faculty member. His exceptional professionalism and personal commitment to the Junior 1 nursing students, particularly in the inpatient and community-based community mental health practice areas, have left an indelible mark. His mentorship, which was meticulously planned and supportive of nursing practice assessments, goals, and objectives, will be remembered and cherished.
Jeffrey's clinical faculty leadership since 2020 as an Adjunct Clinical Faculty has been remarkable, particularly his enthusiasm for collaborating with his colleagues at one of the new sites he helped establish with a partner at The Monument Crisis Center. In an email to a faculty member and the clinical placement team, he graciously mentioned, "We are very excited to do our community work at this wonderful facility on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thank you very much, and we are forever grateful."
We are deeply grateful to Jeffrey for his unwavering dedication to his nursing role. His commitment to meeting the needs of others and providing an enriched learning experience for nursing students in the food program and community resources is truly inspiring. We thank him for being a valued colleague and friend in nursing. His legacy of student learning, professional practice, and family will continue to inspire us all.
Jeffrey's work has had a profound impact on the nursing community, and we are deeply grateful for his contributions. We invite you to reflect on his legacy.
The family created an obituary site where you can contribute to his tribute wall.
As always, if you need support please contact:
Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS). They can help you with sadness, anxiety, loneliness, college adjustment, relationship struggles, and other concerns not requiring medical intervention.
