School of Nursing site visit

I was invited this week to participate in a site visit to the Penn State School of Nursing in the College of Health and Human Development. The SoN has submitted a powerful proposal to the Hartford Foundation for the development of a Hartford Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence.

President Spanier kicked off the visit and was joined by Vice President and Dean of the Graduate School, Eva Pell, in articulating the strengths and commitment of Penn State to the proposal and the richness of the proposal itself.

Teaching and Learning with Technology is connected in substantive ways to the grant. ANGEL, Adobe Connect, instructional design, and expertise are all being brought to bear on the effort. It's great that we're involved in directly supporting this proposal and I was struck by how much we indirectly support all that was talked about in the morning. If there was ever any doubt in your mind about how IT enables what is going on at Penn State, I wish you could have been there with me.
