Kayla Berwanger Instructor, Experiential Learning “Kayla played a key role in helping me transition into Nightingale’s unique instructional model, which is quite dif- ferent from my previous experience as a traditional nursing instructor. As on-ground faculty in a system driven by remote learning and real- world clinical experiences, the shift initially felt unfamiliar. Kayla’s clear guidance, patience, and support made it much easier to adapt and build confidence in this new environment. Her approach made what could have been an overwhelming transition into an engaging and positive experience.” Michele Parker “During our second one-on-one, Angenita not only coached me to become a member of Nightingale with great direction and imperative information, but she also took moments of the meeting to connect with me personally. She shared stories that resonated with me, and I will never forget that.” Maya Smith, MA Assistant Professor II General Education Assistant Professor I Experiential Learning Angenita Williams Associate Professor General Education

Sarah Jones Manager, Learner Helpdesk “A special shout-out to Sarah for going above and beyond for our learners as the manager of the Learner Help Desk! Her extensive knowledge of the College and ongoing collabora- tion with various functions helps direct concerns quickly and effectively, leading to better outcomes for learners and other stakeholders. I particularly appreciate her empathy and positive attitude when navigating challenging situations and learner frustrations; she makes a significant impact every day!” Erin Hungerman Investigator, Ethics Office

Erica Ellsworth Instructor, Learner Resources “Erica brings 28 years of teaching experience to Nightingale College and has quickly become an indispens- able part of our team. Despite being new, she consistently goes above and beyond by offering her support across departments and stepping in wherever help is needed. She has graciously taken me under her wing as a mentee, offering encourage- ment, guidance, and genuine care. Nightingale is a stronger, kinder, and more collaborative place because of Erica’s presence. I am so grateful to call her a friend and colleague!“ Mike Rendon-Thofson Instructor, Learner Resources Christy Smith Supervisor Government Funding Programs “Christy is a treasure trove of knowledge when it comes to deferral regulations regarding student aid. She has taken the time to comb through Nightingale’s policies and found ways to streamline our interpretations of the policies of the Department of Education. More importantly, she conveys these updates in user-friendly diagrams and charts, so all involved functions are in sync moving forward. I can’t believe we get to work with someone like this!” Diane Shaffer Supervisor, Learner Funding
