SCHOOL OF NURSING Loma Linda University School of Nursing is committed to providing a balanced professional education in a Christian Environment. The faculty of the school places high value on the wholeness needs of mankind and consequently on the promotion of human and social welfare. The primary aim of nursing is to serve humanity by ministering to the body, mind, and spirit. Nursing is an art based on science, directed toward the promotion of physical and mental health, and the prevention of disease. lt is a service to individuals, families, and communities. Aside from functions derived from medical authority, nursing has independent functions in the areas of wellness and health promotion. The nurse combines the work of healing with the work of helping indi- viduals and families reach their level of optimal functioning through a life style congruent with the laws of health. Nursing practice encompasses a diversity of experiences, ranging from the care of infants to the care of the elderly. Nurses practice in a variety of settings-from the hospital, with its many specialty needs to community agencies, where the challenge lies in providing necessary nursing care and teaching health promotion. Profes- sional opportunities in administration, teaching, clinical specialties, and the independent practice of nursing are avilable in the United States and overseas. The qualified student who is interested in people and in pro- viding health care will find a challenging, individualized role in the nursing profession. Valrie Rudge, Assoc.

DIVISION OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES The Division of Behavioral Sciences was created two years ago by the University Board as a new organizational structure to bring together five departments and two pro- grams into one interrelated family of like-disciplines. The Departments of Anthropology, Marriage and Family Counseling, Psychology, Social Work, and Sociology- and the Programs in Administration of Justice and in Mid- dle Eastern Studies were thus brought into a new unity that has proven of substantial benefit to all. Three departments and one program operate on the Graduate level thus creating a framework within which the Division serves not only the College of Arts and Sci- ences, but also several other schools, primarily the Gradu- ate School-about forty percent of the Division operations are on the Loma Linda Campus. Between 1,300 and 1,500 students are served each quarter by the various entities of the Division. There is a concerted effort in our classes and research activities to interpret the theories of behavior science in the light of Adventist beliefs. Thus, thousands of our young people who want to take courses in our various disciplines have the opportunity of sitting safely and profitably in the classrooms of competent Adventist behavior scientists who are a rare commodity, increasing in demand as the Church continues to find successful methods for dealing with its internal and external challenges in an ultracomplex world of human behavior. We will continue, under God, to keep faith with you, our wonderful students and the future leaders of our church and our world. fl? I , 'lf- 'ev ' 9, I Dr. John W.
