President's Point of Pride

I am so proud to see Shepherd students stepping forward as leaders on our campus, knowing that their skills will serve them well when they become leaders and model citizens in the community. We welcomed our Student Government Association to their annual reception at Popodicon this week, where we celebrated all they have achieved this semester and learned about their aspirational goals after graduation. We also got a glimpse into the future of healthcare when our undergraduate BSN students shared their exciting research projects as part of School of Nursing Research Day. Our future is bright because of our extraordinary students! You can read more about our remarkable students in the news below.
