| SimMan Birthday Bash |
|
By Abraham Velazquez
On January 19, the School of Nursing held a departmental convocation in Lynwood Hall
to celebrate SimMan's birthday. There were even balloons and birthday cake.
SimMan is a mannequin that simulates real-life scenarios for the nursing students
to gain hands-on experience. The SimMan patient allows students to test their abilities
through a simulated experience.
During the celebration students were reminded of the importance of a giving spirit.
In her welcoming remarks, Barbara James ('75), dean of the School of Nursing, told
students of the donors that have helped make their experiences with SimMan possible
and encouraged students to not only be recipients, but also benefactors of these type
of gifts.Currently, 21 nursing students have given to the SimMan birthday present
totaling $170.
Students gain a rich experience in their learning because of the gifts that help
make this possible.
Add your gift to the birthday present for SimMan!

| Raising Money for History |
|
By Courtney Beckwith
Southern history professors and students are working together to raise $25,000 in
two months for the Floyd Greenleaf Travel Research Endowment Fund. This fund will
allow students to complete original Civil War research for their baccalaureate thesis.
Professor Floyd Greenleaf ('55), former chair of the History Department and vice president
for Academic Administration worked for Southern for more than 30 years before retiring.
He donated money towards this grant and set the ball in motion.
This fund will enable students to travel to archives and conferences as well as purchase
materials that they wouldn't have the money for otherwise. "It's a great idea," said
Jason Dedeker, a senior history and pre-med major. "What we have on campus is primary and secondary works from the Civil War,
but this grant will allow students to research more deeply into their topics."
