"This is our way to give back to the community," said Ginger Wolgemuth, Ph.D., R.N., chief nursing administrator, "Our students have worked very hard and are excited about the fair."

Since launching the nursing program in 2013, Wolgemuth continues to lay the foundation of equipping students with the skills and abilities required of professional nurses to effectively serve individuals and families within the community.
