UT Tyler's Nursing China Immersion Trip 2012

In May, 2012, six UT Tyler graduate nursing students and one MBA student took Global Studies of the Human Body, Mind, and Nature, a three-week, interdisciplinary course in Shanghai, China.  The course provided an in-country opportunity to extend students’ learning of health care, civilization, and science to a global level.  Students attended lectures by East China Normal University faculty, participated in tai chi and calligraphy instruction, toured local health clinics and a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.  The course was led by Dr. Hui Wu, Chair and Professor of English and Dr. Beth Mastel-Smith, Associate Professor, College of Nursing.  Students who participated included Brittany Martin, Melanie Keeler, Traci Murray, Charleen McNeill, Teresa Maharaj, Cheryl Roth, and Michael Ashigbi.
