CCNE Accreditation

It gives us great pleasure to announce that on Tuesday, April 27, 2010,
the Commission on College Nursing Education (CCNE) informed the IWU
School of Nursing that it has been granted 10 more years of
accreditation for both the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Master
of Science in Nursing programs. Further, the School was notified that
the Commission found no compliance concerns.

We are filled with joy and thanksgiving for this great report. The
successful preparation, writing, and visit were a team effort by the
faculty and staff of the newly created School of Nursing. Our programs
in the three divisions (Division of Graduate Studies, Division of
Post-licensure Studies, and Division of Pre-licensure Studies) were
reviewed and deemed excellent! We look forward to maintaining
excellence while we continue to mature as a cohesive, Christ-centered,
mission-focused School of Nursing.

Rejoice with us as we celebrate 10 more years of accreditation with the
CCNE!

Intresting article on an alumnus

I receive the alumni magazine from Fuller Theological Seminary called “Fuller Focus”.  The winter issue arrived today and a significant article was included on an alum from IWU, Sam Bills (Rose Freeman).

Sam was also part of my college ministry when I served as the Chi Alpha pastor at College Church.

You can check out the article at the following link.

IWU NEWS: Former SGO President Clark Vandeventer running for United States Congressman from California!!

This week my son Clark will officially enter the race for the 23rd District Congressional Seat from California to the United States Congress. He credits IWU in the preparation it gave him as he embarks on this huge challenge and opportunity. Be watching for the official announcement later this week as Alumni Relations will be posting the press release in Alumni News at that time.

 

Yesterday, I learned Clark will need thousands of mini-Clark bars. For many of you who were on campus in 2000 this may sound familiar. During Clark’s successful run for SGO president at IWU in 2000-2001, mini-Clark bars were one of Clark’s campaign gimmicks. Marion and much of Indiana experienced a run on “Clark” bars during that time. Hopefully, a run is on the horizon not only here but all across the 23rd Congressional District of California.

 

If you want to help encourage Clark, I will be accepting donations of mini-Clark bars at the Alumni House. I will ship these out to Clark leading up to the California Primary in June and the general election in November. This is one small way we can all take part in helping Clark bring Christian values to California 23rd District and to his becoming the next United States Congressman from California.

 

Blessings and thank you from a proud father, Lonnie
