READ MIX THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER:

Check your MIX throughout the summer for information from the School of Nursing.  Mix is accessible from any where in the world if you can get to the world wide web.  Remember, it’s best to forward your other e-mail accounts (if you have AOL etc.) to MIX and not the other way around.
