Legacy
Dr. Yonge believes in a number of facets of legacy development. She is an advocate of succession planning which entails detailed charts, manuals and, if possible, numbers meetings with her successor. Throughout her career she has been mentored by others within and external to her discipline. To date, one of her mentors is still alive and is 81 years of age. Dr. Yonge sees her twice a year for birthday celebrations.
She continues to fund Mentor U, a highly successful mentorship program run by the graduate nursing students in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Alberta.
