A student who has successfully mastered a new skill. A faculty member who has received recognition for their professional achievements. A university tour guide sharing tidbits of information as they walk prospective students and their parents through the building for the first time. The excited chatter of middle and high school students on a special visit to the college, where they begin to imagine their lives as nurses.
