Sculptures around campus.

I know a lot of you don't get to see our beautiful campus but once a year, so I have posted pictures of our new sculptures that are placed all over campus. They are so neat and really add interesting inspiration.

Staying connected

While connecting with alumns, Drs. Shellye Vardaman and Irene Gilliland, at Sigma Theta Tau International this past week, we agreed we need a means to keep abreast of PhrnDz even after they no longer have access to Bb. Gina came to the rescue once again and, voila'! We now have a blog that is accessible to all -- even after graduation. Thanks, Gina!!

Tara Eaton and Jenifer Chilton have proposal funded!

Tara Eaton and Jenifer Chilton had their proposal entitled "Effect of the Total Girl Wellness Program on Wellness Behaviors in Adolescent Females" funded for the $3,000.00 requested.

Scott Marzilli stated, "I think it is great to see how the combination of nursing and kinesiology programs could be used to increase the breadth and depth of knowledge for the nursing students. Moreover, it is very difficult to get access to high schools, so congratulations on that too! I look forward to hearing about your results next year! I sincerely hope that these funds allow you both to move forward with your research agendas. Thank you once again for your CRIA application and I wish you the best of luck conducting this research."
