Halloway was recognized at the AHA’s annual meeting and joins a class of highly qualified nurses from across the country. “Halloway is an exceptional nurse scientist working on the leading edge of discovery,” says Christine Kennedy, PhD, RN, FAAN, the John L. and Helen Kellogg Dean at the College of Nursing. “She is a passionate, committed and collaborative academic who works at the forefront of knowledge generation for older adults with heart disease to prevent cognitive impairment. I am proud of the work she’s done at the college, and I know she will continue to have an impact on this area of science as a Fellow.” She joined the Department of Community, Systems and Mental Health Nursing as an assistant professor in 2018 after completing her PhD and postdoctoral research fellowships at Rush. Since that time, she has been an influential leader in the field of nursing research, tallying eight completed grants and having conducted four ongoing grants as a principal or co-investigator. Halloway has published 13 first-author, peer-reviewed papers and presented her research at 25 conferences, reaching local, national and international audiences. She has also received several honors, including the Midwest Nursing Research Society New Investigator Award and the American Heart Association Best Nursing Abstract. “Having known Halloway for the past seven years, I can say without a doubt that she is highly driven, intelligent and extremely productive,” says Susan Pressler, PhD, RN, FAAN, FAHA, Halloway’s mentor since 2014. “Her program of research has undoubtedly impacted the current state of the science of biobehavioral interventions that aim to prevent impairment in older adults with cardiovascular disease.” In addition to her numerous academic accomplishments, Halloway is actively engaged in the Chicago community. In 2021 she was appointed to the Rush AHA Heart Walk Steering Committee and led the Rush University College of Nursing Heart Walk Team. She is deeply connected with professional nursing organizations and was elected to the Midwest Nursing Research Society Nominating Committee, having also served on committees for the AHA and Council for the Advancement of Nursing Science. She also serves as a member of the Auxiliary Board of Inspiration Corporation, a Chicago-area non-profit organization that provides job training and services to people experiencing homelessness. “I am a passionate advocate of the mission of the AHA,” Halloway says. “I am honored to be a new Fellow of the American Heart Association and will continue my research and volunteer work in pursuit of cardiovascular health. I am committed to a long, productive cardiovascular research career.” FEATURED NEWS Upcoming Rush Medical College Information Sessions November 16, 2021 Rush University College of Nursing Professor Named Outstanding Illinois Nurse Leader November 03, 2021 Study Ranks Rush No. 2 for Quality Among 101 Leading Academic Medical Centers October 15, 2021 Rush Students Work to Close Equity Gap for Sickle Cell Disease Patients October 06, 2021 Rush University Partners With Jacksonville University to Create Respiratory Care Program September 28, 2021 Listening to Her Dream September 23, 2021 RELATED NEWS FROM COAL MINES TO COVID: RUSH RESEARCHER LEANS ON PAST EXPERIENCE TO BECOME A LEADER DURING PANDEMIC Brady Scott, PhD, RRT, received the Charles H.
