Tracie Harrison, PhD, RN, FGSA, FAAN, Associate Dean for Research
"I have been in positions as faculty utilizing the resources of an associate dean of research, but none of the models were as fully developed as the model here. Two wonderful things about being at this college are the resources and expertise available. It's not like anything I've seen before."

I've made friends that will last a life time and mentors who have taught me and helped me grow in ways I cannot even begin to express. The environment truly fostered learning and growth through genuine care for one another. It's something I wouldn't trade for the world."
