Our newest members of Sigma Theta Tau International (a collegiate honors society for Nursing) were initiated this week.  Congrats to these hard-working Seniors!

Three Nursing students have had their  essays selected for the print edition of “This I Believe – A Tech Collection of Selected Essays”.  Congrats to Hannah Gafford (“Late Night Car Rides are Good for the Soul”), Shreejal N. Patel (“Being Different is not a Curse”), and Faith Vanderjagt (“The Healing Power of Reading”)!

We would like to congratulate Jennifer Mabry on the successful defense of her dissertation this week.  Good work, Doctor Mabry!

SNA has cosponsored a blood drive that will be held the first two days after Spring Break. This will be March 13-14th on a Monday and Tuesday. Save your time by pre-registering. This will also help us have an idea of people attending. Schedule your appointment by clicking the “Use sponsor code” button, then type in TTU19 and you can then select a day and time! Super easy!  Remember you can always just show up if you are not sure when you can make it.

Also, save 15 minutes of your donation time by following the RAPIDPASS instructions for the day you will be donating.

We hope to see you there!!

The group traveling to Belize over Spring Break is collecting donations such as bars of soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, other hygiene products, and seeds (fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, carrots, etc).

They also need one iPad to donate to the Health Care worker in Laguna. It can be an older model that is returned to factory settings.

If you have a donation, please drop it off at the “Belize Box” in the main office or contact Dr. Melissa Geist.
