Jolene is a tenured faculty member who has been instrumental in our Nursing program's success.  Jolene was nominated by a student with the following statement:

Where the heck do I even start? I never thought that, in a million years, I would say lab would be my favorite part of nursing school, but it is. Jolene is the one factor that makes lab the most memorable. She is a beautiful human who truly cares for her students. I’ve learned so much from her. I’ve learned things that I will carry with me for my whole life. I’ve run into many graduates that Jolene has taught, and every single one has said the most wonderful things about her. Sometimes, I sit and think about the total number of students who have been taught by Jolene (hundreds!), and I just marvel at the impact Jolene has had on them and how they are able to impact the community they are in. I am saddened that this is her last year, but I am SO fortunate to have been one of her students. Nursing school would not have been the same without Jolene.
