SimMan Birthday Bash

By Abraham Velazquez

On January 19, the School of Nursing held a departmental convocation in Lynwood Hall to celebrate SimMan's birthday. There were even balloons and birthday cake.

SimMan is a mannequin that simulates real-life scenarios for the nursing students to gain hands-on experience. The SimMan patient allows students to test their abilities through a simulated experience.
During the celebration students were reminded of the importance of a giving spirit. In her welcoming remarks, Barbara James ('75), dean of the School of Nursing, told students of the donors that have helped make their experiences with SimMan possible and encouraged students to not only be recipients, but also benefactors of these type of gifts.Currently, 21 nursing students have given to the SimMan birthday present totaling $170.

Students gain a rich experience in their learning because of the gifts that help make this possible.

Add your gift to the birthday present for SimMan!

Raising Money for History

By Courtney Beckwith

Southern history professors and students are working together to raise $25,000 in two months for the Floyd Greenleaf Travel Research Endowment Fund. This fund will allow students to complete original Civil War research for their baccalaureate thesis.

Professor Floyd Greenleaf ('55), former chair of the History Department and vice president for Academic Administration worked for Southern for more than 30 years before retiring. He donated money towards this grant and set the ball in motion.

This fund will enable students to travel to archives and conferences as well as purchase materials that they wouldn't have the money for otherwise. "It's a great idea," said Jason Dedeker, a senior history and pre-med major. "What we have on campus is primary and secondary works from the Civil War, but this grant will allow students to research more deeply into their topics."
