At TU, I had the opportunity to sit with my professors in person, practice my skills in the Lawson Family Nursing Simulation Center and Skills Lab and get excellent experience in my TU-arranged clinical rotations. Alex Button, DNP '19
Engagement
The Oxley College of Health Sciences encourages students to take their classroom knowledge and utilize it in clinical experience, research, and community service opportunities.
I’ve always wanted to work with and help people because a desk job is just not for me. And, I really wanted to study abroad … something my TU advisor helped to make happen by offering me a tailored schedule. Ashley Hughes, BS Exercise and Sports Science
