Taking the Plunge: Cross-Cultural Immersion

October 01, 2001

In today's global culture, a growing number of college students look forward to studying and serving off campus as part of their university experience. This trend encourages the development of a wide range of study and service abroad programs, from short-term mission trips to study tours, field seminars, international internships, student exchanges, and language and cultural immersion programs. Immersion programs typically include living with a local family, serving in a grassroots organization, participating in self-directed language and culture learning, and conducting small-scale research based on community issues.

Nursing education must prepare nurses that understand and use health genetics.

September 01, 2000

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was an age of wisdom, it was an age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us. . ." –A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
