Welcome Students to your 2009-2010 Academic Year!
The College of Nursing and Health Sciences helps to meet the societal needs for preparing and placing health care professionals in the workforce while simultaneously supporting the University of Vermont’s vision of excellence in the area of ‘health.’ As students you are part of our vision for excellence, and we are committed to ensuring your success not only as students but as future health professionals. We are pleased you have selected the University of Vermont and our College to capitalize on your strengths and engage in our dynamic learning community.
Our outstanding faculty will ensure you have meaningful classroom and clinical experiences as well as opportunities to engage in innovative research. Our highly qualified staff will support you in achieving your goals as a student in our College. The Dean’s Office will challenge you to discover new ideas, take learning risks and step out of your comfort zone to explore the many academic and research opportunities that will be available to you.
We value diverse perspectives and collaboration among our health colleagues. We recognize the importance of ensuring the voice of all individuals who have been compromised in some way because of a health challenge, and consider that individual in the context of family and community.
Push yourself to work at your full potential but don’t forget to ‘play’ and create balance in your life. I believe you will achieve great things this year and together we can begin to make a difference in the lives of people we encounter along the way.
Best wishes for an outstanding learning experience,
Patty Prelock, Ph.D., CCC-SLPLast modified September 16 2009 09:28 AM
