Our school is a place of transformative learning and stellar classroom education. Faculty and staff continue to evolve and grow in the increasingly tech-savvy academic and health care arenas, answering the call to flourish in this interconnected world.

Three large television monitors were also added to keep students informed about learning opportunities, events, student and faculty achievements, academic programs, and more.
