“My graduate degree in nursing from Salisbury University has afforded me many professional opportunities. Most recently, I had the opportunity to travel with nursing faculty and students to Tanzania where we worked together on an HIV/AIDS prevention project. The experience was invaluable to me, both personally and professionally.”
