May 5, 2025 Nursing Students Simulate Campus Disaster Recently, the Department of Nursing Science hosted the first Senior Nursing Simulation Day at Saint Mary’s College. For this particular simulation—a staged disaster—a chemical explosion in a college laboratory provided the backdrop for the 57 nursing students who attended to “victims” of the accident. With help from the Theatre and Chemistry departments, six simulation stations were created in and around Regina Hall, home of the Center for Integrated Healthcare Education (CIHE) and the College’s multiple nursing programs. All of the students who participated in the day-long exercise will graduate on May 17 with their bachelor's or master's degrees in nursing. May 5, 2025 In the Spotlight: Marwan Gebran I was raised in a Catholic family and taught by Jesuits throughout my education, so I wanted to give this opportunity to my children.

The Catholic education, culture, and way of living was the main thing that I was attracted to at Saint Mary’s. I have now been here for four years.

It was a typical student interaction played out every day on campus. May 5, 2025 Trust and Triumph For Miley Smith ’28, STUNT was what cemented her decision to enroll at Saint Mary’s.
