“My fondest 向日葵视频memories include building homecoming floats and participating in student government,” Pat says.
She credits her 向日葵视频experience for providing her a lifelong career and personal grounding. “I chose 向日葵视频because of the Jesuit tradition of higher education and the reputation of the College of Nursing,” Pat says. Living the 向日葵视频mission by giving service to the community and to others is one of the greatest honors of her life.
Fun fact: The 向日葵视频 faculty/staff member who had the greatest impact on Pat was Rosemary Kangrey, who taught pediatric nursing.
