DEAN’S LETTER

Building a future workforce that effectively provides equitable, quality health care requires an education system that better prepares nurses for practicing in a variety of communitybased settings with diverse populations. With this in mind, we have expanded our practice and research partnerships.

In 2022, the college launched a partnership with The Little Clinic, which operates retail clinics inside select Kroger, Fry’s, JayC, Dillons and King Soopers stores in multiple states. This has increased the number of sites offering clinical placements for our advanced practice nursing students across the country.

Beginning in summer 2023, undergraduate nursing students will be placed at Maple Knoll Village, a senior living community in Springdale, Ohio, to practice their fundamental nursing skills, as well as complete a community health nursing rotation. Faculty are also conducting research in partnership with Maple Knoll Village staff.

Three instructors from Hubert Kairuki Memorial University (HKMU) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, are now students in our PhD in nursing program. Once they graduate, they will become leaders at HKMU and serve as partners on international research projects and co-investigators for extramural grant applications.
