Sue and Peter are delighted to announce that their daughter, Jennifer Eaman, recently
graduated from the nurse practitioner program at Ģ����ý’s. Sue writes, “Jennifer has university degrees from both Western and Ryerson, but she finally ‘saw the light’ and joined the ranks of Ģ����ý’s students. She was especially happy with her decision because many other universities that offer this program had to postpone the practicum requirement due to lack of placement opportunities during the pandemic. Ģ����ý’s, however, found placements for all of the nurse practitioner students, and Jennifer, along with her classmates, was able to graduate this past fall. Well done, everyone!”
