The School of Nursing acknowledges the importance of obtaining student input and offering students an active role in program governance. To facilitate the process of obtaining input, faculty will announce, through e-mail and hand-outs distributed in class, issues for which student input is requested. In addition, all students are encouraged to provide input to faculty and the Director by a variety of means including appointments, e-mail, telephone, written suggestions, etc. All student input is seriously considered and faculty make every attempt to provide appropriate responses to student suggestions.
