Mr. Virginia Lindskog, Associate Professorof Home Economics, plans for move into new Home Economics facility. ursing Students Gain Clinical Experience A grant for renovation of the present Home Economics building will give the Division of Nurse Education a new home in the immediate future. Having been temporarily quartered in the former president's home, the nursing program instituted in 1966 is rapidly growing and expanding its programs. The departmentfs new home will house classrooms, faculty offices, and an audio-tutorial laboratory. This lab, in addition to providing a setting for the practice of nursing techniques, will also provide audio-visual equipment to aid in instruction. The department has three newifaculty members, who expanded the curriculum and give advanced experience. In addition to the classroom experience, the students go to local hospitals or agencies to observe and practice in the latest nursing techniques. When students finish their training, it is expected that they will pass the State Board Examination and become licensed Registered Nurses on the staff of a hospital or public health agency. Diversified Program Offered To Home Economics Students Within the home economics department, special emphasis is placed on textiles, clothing, food, family child development. New facilities in the college's newest classroom building provide laboratory, living and dining areas which strengthened the instructional program. The planned home economics technology program will train students to serve as assistants in areas of home economics. 129
