Professional Development Week Professional Development Week is dedicated to assisting students with professional development skills and resources as they prepare to transition to the world of work. Events during this week were hosted by the
office of Student Affairs, Equity and Inclusion and the Nursing Alumni Society. Students had opportunities to attend a hiring workshop, nurse manager panel, cover letter workshop, walk-in resume reviews, a Diversity in Nursing event and one-on-one mock interviews with College of Nursing alumni or faculty and staff. Diversity in Nursing was sponsored by the student organization Buckeye Assembly of Men in Nursing (BAMN) and facilitated by the College’s new Equity and Inclusion Program Manager Rachel Choto. Current students and alumni participated in a frank and wide-ranging conversation about their experiences negotiating diversity and inclusion in a professional setting. Alumni and students with clinical experience gave insights on how a person’s background or the groups they identify with can impact their daily work in nursing practice.
Undergraduate photoshoot Student Marukesha Young posed for our photographer, Andrew Weber, in Newton Hall, so that Marketing and Communications could have images of our own nursing students in red scrubs to use in advertisements. See ad on page 52 to see how it turned out!
