Clinical Assistant Nursing Professor JoAn Kivlehan, along with several nursing students, provided blood pressure screenings and education about managing hypertension to the Manhattanville community at the Wellness Expo on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
The students participated in experiential learning while applying clinical skills, the nursing process, and making a positive impact on health outcomes.
Professors Hartch and Kivlehan have been actively leading a variety of SNHS initiatives designed to foster leadership, community engagement, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Recent activities include a Sigma networking event with alumni, blood pressure screenings at the Wellness Expo, a vaccine clinic in partnership with SHAC, and clothing donations supporting the Clark Center Homeless Run. We’re now looking forward to hosting Dr. Nicholas Cagliuso, Founding Director of the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program, who will speak with Population Health students and Student Nursing Association members on November 14, 2025. Finally, we are especially excited to celebrate the scholastic achievements of our nursing students at the Sigma Induction Ceremony on April 15 at 5:00 p.m. in the West Room.
