EAST ST. LOUIS The University of Missouri-St. Louis College of Nursing has signed a new articulation agreement with Lewis and Clark Community College’s East St. Louis Higher Education Center.
The agreement provides support for 15-20 underrepresented minority students each year as they begin pursuing their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees through the newly created Bridge to BSN program.
“The field of nursing lacks representation in some areas,” said Justine Patterson, an academic advisor in the College of Nursing who has been involved in establishing the partnership. “This is a great opportunity to help change that by expanding our network and allowing these students a smoother path to a career in the field. I think it’s going to be great for the field of nursing and the overall St. Louis community.”

BELLEVILLE Southwestern Illinois College has welcomed new Economics Assistant Professor Dustin Sweet.
Sweet has a passion for economics and his ultimate goal is to help students understand the connection between economics and the real world.
“I believe economics can be applied to everyday, real-life situations,” Sweet said. “I hope to be able to showcase that to my students and that they will leave my classes having a better understanding of why economics is so important.”
He will be teaching ECON 115 Introduction to Economics, ECON 201 Principles of Economics (Macro) and ECON 202 Principles of Economics (Micro).

GODFREY After nearly a year’s absence, the return of NJCAA men’s basketball is just around the corner. At least that’s the hope at schools around the country.
Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the season’s start was postponed to late January/early February. And while that hasn’t changed, the possibility of a delay or even cancellation still remains. The virus, as has been said often, makes things fluid.
