Happy National Nurses Week, Sooner Nation!
Today, I had the honor of presenting Elyse Dang, who will graduate from OU's BSN program this Thursday, with a special surprise to kick off this important week.
Recommended by @OUNursing to receive this gift, she has contributed to the community, organizing Angel Tree donations, as well as food drives and activities to support her fellow students and becoming an active member of the College of Nursing Student Association.
Elyse exemplifies passion and commitment for her peers and the community, and we could not be happier to start this week of celebration by honoring her with this gift basket and a pair of @OU_Football tickets!
Thank you, Elyse, and to all the Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing students, faculty, staff, and alumni: thank you for all you do to care for our communities. Your compassion, skill, and resilience make a lasting impact on lives across Oklahoma and beyond.
