It just takes one...
Did You Know?
Students often describe how one interaction with an ECU person has impacted
their lives. Think about the many times that kindness shown from another person
has made a difference for you.
• You can smile and offer a friendly greeting when a student walks into your office.
• You can go the extra mile by helping the student cut through the proverbial “red tape.”
• You can send a follow up e-mail to a student in distress to show you care.
• You can offer guidance to a struggling student - even when they are too afraid to ask.
• You can remember that students are still a work in progress.
• You can go above and beyond to help a student - isn’t that how you would want to be treated?
Above all, please keep in mind that you never know when a few words of
kindness and guidance can change the path for a student.
Jayne Geissler, PhD
Executive Director, Retention Programs and Enrollment Services
Kathy Simpson, ECU College of Nursing professor, was on
her way to work last week when her phone rang. On the
other end (quite literally) was a former student calling
from Afghanistan! First Lieutenant Dan Hines, BSN, 2008,
is an Army Nurse who arrived in Afghanistan two weeks
ago. He was calling to share his experiences and to thank
Kathy for preparing him for what he called “the hardest,
most intense but most rewarding job of my life.” Dan told
her how grateful he was of the nursing education he
received at ECU. In fact, he has already put his ECU
stickers up in his living area. Arrrgh-go Pirates! As faculty,
we never know how far our reach extends - but now we do. Pirate Nursing is
global indeed! Thank you, Kathy, for your impact on Lieutenant Dan Hines’ life!
...to make a difference in a student’s life.
One Professor...
What You Can Do…
Kathy Simpson and Dan Hines
prior to his deployment.
