This is an event dedicated to celebrating student achievement. There are more than 125 students presenting their work, experiences and performances. Due to the unprecedented Coronavirus event this semester, the Celebration of Learning is presented in virtual format.
Students participating in the Celebration of Learning are supported by their departments as they showcase their work. They represent the very best that Wittenberg has to offer. We congratulate them and want to pass on our thanks for their hard work and participation in the program.
We extend gratitude to Vanessa Orduna Zarazua and Cameron Dobrotka for their contributions in making this an exceptional day for the Wittenberg Community. Special thanks to Ryan Maurer for technical support, and to Linda Beals for helping us circulate the word about the event to local high schools!
We invite you to join us in celebrating our students鈥 achievements!
Cordially,
Cherie Rebar, Ph.D., MBA, RN, COI; Professor of Nursing
Marie Bashaw, DNP, RN, NEA-BC; Director and Professor of Nursing
