Co-presented her psychology research at professional conferences in Boston
and Chicago with associate professor Dr. Nina Eduljee.

Teaching Tools

On the benefit of having state-of-the-art equipment for students.
“Simulations using a life-size, realistic mannequin called SimMan allow students to analyze patient symptoms, make treatment choices and see the outcome of those choices in a setting where there is no risk. It takes nursing education to a whole other level.”
Student enrichment
Annemarie Reed ’10
Spring Break Workfest (32 students in five states, March 2008)
“Spring Break Workfest was life changing, and an experience I think everyone should have. To not only see the faith and the love of the people we served, but also that of the volunteers, was truly inspiring.”
These are just a few reasons why your gift has an immediate and meaningful impact.
