Cool weather drove the ceremony indoors, but
that didn’t stop the celebratory mood at
a ribbon cutting for North Lake College’s
Nursing Program Center. In a partnership with
El Centro College, nursing education is offered
at NLC and coordinated by Diana Redding.
Student Nursing Association president Shari Jensen
praised the “culturally diverse and rich”
program, noting that NLC nursing students hail
from every continent and the environment adds
depth to the overall education students receive.
North Lake College President Dr. Herlinda Glasscock
said that El Centro College is “the most
tremendous partner we could have.” North
Lake is a satellite program linked to El Centro’s
nursing program.
“I’m not encouraging it, but if a
local hospital stay is in your future —
if that happens to be your lot. I’m confident
that at least one of your nurses will have been
through the district’s nursing program,”
said Dr. Wright Lassiter Jr., president of El
Centro.
Center tours were conducted for dozens of guests
by Dr. Paul Kelemen, North Lake’s vice-president
of instruction and Dr. Marilyn Mays, executive
dean of Math/Sciences Teaching and Learning Center.
