Dear Alumni Ambassadors,

We had a great turn out for our March Graduate Open House so thank you again for your help in promoting the event to your colleagues. Our new BSN/MSN Gateway Program for Registered Nurses has generated a lot of interest from the region.

We are also offering to the nurses of the region a new genetics course this summer which takes the mystery out of this important subject. Genetics for Health Care Professionals is a three-credit graduate level course, ideal for advanced practice nurses, nurse educators and any nurse considering graduate school. Credits earned can be applied to a graduate track in nursing education, nurse practitioner (adult, geriatric, pediatric) or health care administration. To register before the June 5th deadline, contact Geri Hansen at geri.hansen@villanova.edu or 610.519.4934. We hope you will encourage your fellow nurses to find out more. If you need flyers for your organization, please let Geri know.
