Faculty, staff, students, and alumni all worked together in an effort to increase enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year. Those efforts paid off with an increase in enrollment of 19% this year, also helped by a high retention rate. This increase did not only happen in one or two particular areas, rather across most academic programs. With this increase, our school totals over 600 students, including 170 in the Masters of Education program. The energy on campus is contagious and we as alumni can work to make even more advances next school year. |

South Lancaster, Mass. Atlantic Union College nursing graduates are among those ranked #1 among the 1653 nursing programs in the nation. The Atlantic Union College Nursing Department just received a report of the results of the NCLEX-RN, the National Council Licensure Examination—the nurses' licensing exam. Graduating nurses took the exam between May and September, 2009. "All 25 of our May graduates passed the exam," says Dr. Lenora Follett, department chair. Atlantic Union College (AUC) shares this #1 ranking with 157 other nursing programs in the nation with 100% pass rates. The total number of nursing programs with at least 10 graduates taking the test is 1653—which includes 610 Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs, 990 Associate Degree programs, and 53 Diploma programs. The College’s seven nursing professors focus on making this success possible by maintaining a high standard for students passing their exams, conducting good review classes, and expecting students to use critical thinking in clinical lab, skills lab, and case studies. "Students must work hard to learn the extensive amount of material that must be learned to become a professional nurse," explains Follett. Students in AUC’s nursing program are predominantly from Massachusetts, yet they come from all over the world including the Caribbean and Africa. They must have a GPA (grade point average) of 2.75 to enter program and a reading level of 13th grade. "Congratulations to our graduates, the nursing faculty, and all of those involved in the students’ education!" says Follett. "Congratulations to your entire team," adds AUC President Norman Wendth. "This is quite an impressive feat." A new cohort (semester) of students will begin classes in January, 2010. Atlantic Union College is located at 338 Main Street (Route 70), South Lancaster, Massachusetts. Author: Cindy Kurtzhals Photographer: Bordes Henry Saturné |

Sunday June 6, we had 14 wonderful volunteers at the AUC work bee. This was the first work bee weekend, and we already had a great start. The group did prep-work on two hallways and nine more rooms in the Ladies' Dorm. At this point we are close to having that whole first floor ready to paint out. The wall behind the front desk was also painted. On top of that, the exterior of two student housing buildings were painted and are closing in on completion, too. Not a bad day's work!
More workbees will take place in July and August. We sure could use your help!
One student asked Pastor Don Pate, "Why are you doing this?" The answer is easy, it needs to be done.
Additional information and dates for the upcoming work bees can be found here. |
