Dean Shari Dworkin dicusses the value and impact of mentorship at the School of Nursing and Health Studies (SNHS) in the Fall Newsletter. SNHS embraces mentoring intensively as both an art and a science. Our faculty and staff also deeply engage the mentorship of students and have experienced numerous successes in this arena.

The UWB MN program has been ranked #4 among public schools that offer a Master's degree and the MN program was ranked #12 overall! 

A BSN'14 graduate, Miriam Witt, is now working towards her Master of Nursing at UWB! Witt's goals and passions were heavily influenced by her volunteer trip to Kenya and experiences teaching clinical nursing as an adjunct instructor at Skagit Valley College. 

Students and faculty benefit from partnerships in teaching and research.  The partnership between Drs. Ezeonwu and Kondo, gives students the opportunity to experience global immersion programs and compare healthcare education and systems in Japan and the United States.  Faculty are able to work on international comparative research and engage students on campuses worldwide.  

Miriam Witt, alumna & current student, traveled to Venezuela in June.  Her team provided medical aid in several locations including the lands of the isolated Yukpa tribe.  She also worked in medical tents that offered relief to patients walking to the border.
