National University Fresno Open House

On Saturday, March 24th, National University Fresno held an Open House for members of the community. Approximately 110 people were in attendance for the presentation about the University. Following the general NU overview, people moved to break-out sessions for school presentations. There were 70 prospective students in attendance at the SHHS break out session. After the presentation, 40 students stayed to speak with the nursing faculty and staff about the nursing programs. Most were interested in the BSN program but several were very enthusiastic about the Nurse Anesthesia program as well. The faculty and staff provided a guided tour of the Simulation and Skills Lab and spent time with prospective students and their families. This was a successful event and was an excellent opportunity to showcase SHHS!
