Earlier this semester, nursing faculty members Christina Glennen, Dorene Owen, and Veronica Ramos-Blanford led a hands-on childcare class for Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity members! Students learned infant care skills like swaddling, feeding, diapering, car seat safety, and more using newborn-size manikins to practice. 👶🍼

This session was part of SigEp’s “Challenge Class” series, which helps members build practical life skills for life after college such as cooking, car maintenance, and time management.

💬 “I have attended every health science teacher’s workshop, and each year I look forward to another one. Not only do I get to hear directly from leaders in the field of Health Science but also get to network with other Health Science teachers who might be struggling with some of the same issues I am having. The WSU staff really rolls out the red carpet for high school teachers and makes this conference worthwhile.” – Stanley May, St. Gianna Health Academy
