| The Elf (Makaya, daughter of Deanna Stevens, Assistant to the Dean) helps to hand out presents to community families at our Spectrum Campus in San Diego. |
2015 started off a little brighter for several California families thanks to the SHHS. The now annual event linking the SHHS and the community was held at the Spectrum campus on Friday, December 5th, 2014 and was hosted by
nursing students.
Six economically challenged families from the community were chosen to receive
toys, school supplies and clothing donated by nursing students, faculty and staff.
The Elf in the room was 16-year old Makaya Stevens from Jamul, who was a big hit
along with Santa as they handed out gifts to happy smiling boys and girls. Parents received gifts as well. Each year National University's nursing program adopts families who have fallen
on hard economic times, but who also give back to their own community as volunteers.
Parents were moved to tears as they watched their children unwrap presents while
they thanked National University for spreading the holiday "spirit of giving". A total of 11 families in 3 cities were helped this year as the event was expanded to our Fresno and Los Angeles campuses. The Fresno event was covered by the
local news.
