“I have been richly blessed to care for older adults and their care partners since 1983,” says Associate Professor Dr. Linda Keilman, MSN ‘89.

Through decades of clinical practice, research and teaching, she has made a forever-lasting impact in the field of gerontology. To celebrate these priceless contributions, Dr. Keilman is a recipient of the 2021 MSU College of Nursing Distinguished Alumni Award.

“I have learned from their life experience and wisdom and have been able to pass that knowledge on to students – my way of making sure generational history is buried within quality care for older adults,” she says.
