Department Awards
I have definitely enjoyed my time at Lander. I plan on getting a master’s in nursing with the goal of teaching eventually, as my tutoring and my professors both instilled a love of teaching in me.
Nursing
I was drawn in by how close-knit the campus community was, both in and out of the classroom. I get the feeling that the faculty and staff here not only want me to succeed, but also genuinely care about my well-being.
Nursing
Tyanna Porter had a message for the School of Nursing graduates in Lander University’s Class of 2024: “All 58 of us were born to be nurses.”
Lander University has been awarded federal funding to help improve health care in the state. A total of $2.4 million has been allocated to Lander’s School of Nursing to enhance facilities and upgrade educational technology.
When Lander University celebrated the achievements of its graduates during the School of Nursing’s recognition ceremony, few could have known that one of those being honored almost abandoned her dreams.
