Nursing lab named for Dr. Albert ’49 and Gloria ’82 Shaheen

The facility, located on the second floor of F. Eugene Romano Hall, provides state-of-the-art teaching space for the College’s nursing programs, and has served as a model for universities across the country.
Utica College dedicated the Dr. Albert and Gloria Shaheen Nursing Laboratory at a May 15 ceremony.
The Shaheens are major supporters of Utica College, having contributed more than $500,000 over their lifetime. They established the Dr. Albert H. and Gloria A. Shaheen Scholarship, and have made generous gifts to the Annual Fund, the Crisafulli Fund for the Advancement of Teaching, and the Utica College Biology Challenge. They have additionally given to various scholarship funds in memory of colleagues and friends in the community, and also contributed to the construction of Charles A. Gaetano Stadium.
Dr. Shaheen graduated from Utica College in 1949 as a member of the College’s first graduating class and became a prominent and highly respect member of Utica’s medical community. He served on the Utica College Foundation Board from 1990 to 1995, and received the National Alumni Council’s Alumni of Achievement Award in 1998 and the Utica College honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters in 2006.
Gloria Shaheen graduated from the evening division of UC in 1982 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, and also attended the American University of Beirut and Syracuse University. She and Albert are the parents of five children.
