Dr. Sharon Hom is a favorite amongst students and is one of my favorite co-workers as well. Her intelligence, bright disposition, and compassion have inspired me to do better in my own work on more than one occasion. Often Dr. Hom will meet with individual students outside of class time to discuss strategies useful to succeed in her course and work with the students to develop a plan for success. Dr. Hom utilizes the college resources to create an inclusive learning environment that promotes a sense of community and belonging for all. Faculty like Dr. Hom who see the best in our students and work to optimize our students' potential have a tremendous inter-generational impact. Students and colleagues fortunate to learn from Dr. Hom's example of compassion will undoubtedly go forth to contribute goodness and fulfill the purpose of nursing.
