Reaching New Audiences
An important element of nursing is meeting people where they are. Evolving technology and new communications platforms offer opportunities for us to reach and educate new audiences.
Jenna and Riley took an innovative approach for their capstone project, utilizing Spotify podcasts to inform high school students about the link between mental health and nutrition.
Their work is an excellent example of how we can make an impact on the lives of others, even from afar.
Let's Go,
Dean Hulsey
