CELEBRATING OUR SENIOR SERVICE LEARNING PROJECTS - TOMORROW!
Please come celebrate the Service- Learning activities of the Senior Nursing Students as a result of their work during the Rural/Community Rotation. Students will be presenting Scholarly Posters that represent program activities that addressed community needs throughout WV. Students assessed the populations they were serving and developed a Capstone project based on the needs of the Community. Posters will be in the Commons Area (near the Pylons- behind the Coffee Shop) on April 24th from 10-2PM. This is a great time for Junior students to see what they can look forward to. Faculty, it is a great opportunity to see how the students have grown.
2008 MORGANTOWN WALK FOR LIFE AND BREATH! LET’S WALK TOGETHER! Saturday, May 3 – It’s the 2008 Morgantown Walk for Life and Breath, sponsored by the American Lung Association. Registration begins at 9 and the walk follows at 10 at the Ruby McQuain Park. Bring your pets and children for a fun morning in the park. The Mountaineer will be there for pictures. Face painters and lots of fun activities for kids will be available. We want a huge walking team representing the School - our goal is to raise more than $1000. Please see Roger Carpenter to sign up.
