Watch for new engagement opportunities at ehc.edu/alumni. After a successful online summer alumni vacation, and well-received venture into the SWVA Higher Education Center’s College for Older Adults, the E&H Alumni Association will build on those experiences by continuing to offer monthly engagement events under the heading “Increase Your Excellence.” The series has kicked off with a book talk with Ron Peterson, author of Under the Trestle and Chasing the Squirrel, and a discussion with Dr. James Warden (E&H, retired) about the Dec. 21 planetary conjunction. Videos are available under the Lifelong Learning tab at ehc.edu/alumni.
Dr. Laurie Anne Ferguson has been named Founding Dean of the Emory & Henry School of Nursing offering extensive experience in the nursing profession in both education and clinical work. Most recently, Dr. Ferguson served as dean of the College of Nursing and Health and director of the School of Nursing at Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
”I simply cannot say enough to express my appreciation of the faculty for how they have responded and adapted to the pandemic. I know it has been an extremely challenging semester for both faculty and students, but both have worked in unison to continue the excellent educational experience for which Emory & Henry is known. I visited several classes this semester – some with students both face to face and remote, others entirely remote – at each of our instructional locations, and I went away from each and every one of those classes impressed by the level of engagement I saw and the efforts of the instructors to find ways to keep students involved and on task. More than ever, I am just in awe of our tremendous faculty.”
- Dr. Michael Puglisi, E&H Provost
