BOSTON For the past two decades, Donna Cullinan has led students from Boston College Connell School of Nursing on service trips to Haiti or Jamaica. This year, with pandemic and travel restrictions preventing their usual international travel, the students will bring their abilities and resources to underserved Maine communities close to the Canadian border.
Cullinan, a clinical assistant professor at the school, began organizing the trips after Haiti was devastated by an earthquake. Each January break, she would bring faculty, alumni, undergraduate seniors doing their population health clinical, and nurse practitioner students in their final year before certification.
