School of the Week #4

School of Health Sciences

Missed out on what a “school” is? You’re not alone. I was a little lost, too. I talked about it in my first “School of the Week” installment.

There’s some exciting news coming out of the School of Health Sciences recently! Our graduate nursing program was recently listed among the best by U.S. News and World Report. And 100% of our 2011 Physician Assistant passed their National PA Board Exam on the first time!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, our graduates are awesome because of all the hands-on work they do as students. Especially in the healthcare field, it’s paramount that you have really understand what you’re doing. Our students achieve that understanding because they get so many opportunities to practice. Each of our healthcare majors have their own labs.

Here’s a virtual tour of our simulation lab, which is used by all of our healthcare majors.

If you’d like to see them for yourself, I suggest you come for a visit!

Xanadu!

Xanadu performances at the University of Saint Francis finish this weekend!

If you haven’t seen this hilarious, fast-paced musical comedy, you have to see it! The music is outstanding, the actors are phenomenal and you will laugh your socks off! Showtimes are:

Friday, November 18 at 8 p.m.
Saturday, November 19 at 8 p.m.
Sunday, November 20 at 2 p.m.

The show is performed in our North Campus Auditorium. (That’s 2702 Spring Street Fort Wayne, IN for you GPS types.)

Tickets are free for USF students, faculty and staff. They are $10 for the general public, but can be purchased for $5 if you bring a bag of canned goods for the “USF Feeds the Fort” food drive!

Here are just a few photos from last weekend’s performances.

Kira, a Greek muse, comes to the 1980s to inspire a young artist.

And she does it on roller skates!

With the help of a few fellow muses, of course!

Everyone has a good time.

So come see it!
