At the School of Nursing, we are all about nurses, but it takes a village behind the scenes to provide a seamless education experience. One such look behind the curtain and you'll meet Ja'Vaughn Langford, a staff member of the finance team. Langford's ability to be detail-oriented and wildly creative (outside finance) makes her a unique and valuable addition to the Nursing team.

When it comes to technology, Adam Gibson is a lifeline for the School of Nursing. With an accredited simulation program, remodeled classrooms with the latest tech, and countless monitors in the building (though Gibson likely knows the exact number), there is no end to the unexpected "technical errors" that may arise. But have no fear, Director of Instructional Technology, Gibson, is here.
