The School of Nursing would like to congratulate Professor Taryn Liechty on the birth of her daughter, Elaine Sue, born 12/21/2020. Congratulations!

On behalf of our students, the Honors Program would like to thank all faculty who worked with honors students during fall 2020. Without your dedication and support–particularly during this extraordinary time–our students would not be able to graduate with the honors designation on their transcripts, nor would they be able to experience the enrichment assignments you design for them. We are forever grateful for all that you do. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish our extended Titan family a happy, restful and joyous winter break. Thank you and Happy Holidays to all!

The Health & Wellness Center will be closed for Holiday Break starting Thursday 12/24/2020 through Sunday 01/03/2021, and returning on Monday 01/04/2021 @ 8am.
