I am so very pleased to announce that the School of Nursing was awarded the "Pillars of Promise -Transform" Award by the Foodbank of Southeastern VA at its first annual Hunger Summit. The award recognizes the efforts of С's undergraduate nursing students who have been working at the Foodbank to carry out several critical projects as part of their community health practicum experience. Over 20 students are guided by undergraduate faculty members Dr. Jamela Martin and Beth Tremblay. The award is particularly sweet given that other worthy nominees in the category included Bank of America, Eastern Shore Chapel, The Mount Church, and Buffalow Family/Friends Community Day.
I congratulate the students and faculty whose time and efforts at the Foodbank have been transformative for the organization, and those that they serve in the community. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Foodbank to making a meaningful impact on the health and well-being of the community.
