WVU School of Nursing remembers Dr. E. Jane Martin

WVU School of Nursing remembers Dr. E. Jane Martin

Dr. E. Jane Martin, PhD, 88, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully Saturday, July 1, 2023, at Stonerise Nursing Center, Morgantown, following a brief illness.

Martin earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing from WVU in 1963. She later served as dean of the WVU School of Nursing for 15 years, from 1992-2007, and filled in as WVU’s interim provost from 2008-09.

"I had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Martin and receiving an endowed professorship in her name," said Dean Tara Hulsey. "Her memory will live on in all the lives she touched — her students, faculty and colleagues. She left a lasting impact on the WVU School of Nursing during her time as dean and beyond."

In April 2022, Martin established a $100,000 scholarship to benefit students in the School of Nursing's Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program. 

In addition to this gift, Martin’s legacy at WVU continues via the E. Jane Martin Nursing Professorship, which is currently held by Dean Hulsey.
