She was promoted to assistant and associate professor, becoming full professor in 1975. Crawford served as assistant dean of Nursing from 1974-1980.

Crawford was a respected leader of Canadian nursing whose unselfish devotion to her chosen profession and her community benefited thousands of nurses and other health-care workers. A practitioner, teacher, historian, researcher and author, Crawford’s foresight and willingness to challenge tradition was counterbalanced by a steadfast determination to preserve what she deemed valuable. She shared her knowledge of nursing and her expertise in moral, ethical, legal and political issues by lecturing at conferences all over the world. Crawford not only fulfilled obligations to her colleagues and students at the University of Saskatchewan but also served on provincial and national nursing associations. Her contribution to nursing spans international, national and provincial boundaries. From 1963 to 1965, she was president of the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association, and she held the presidency of the Canadian Nurses Foundation from 1984 to 1988.
