Dear Eagle Nation, 
Last week, I was honored to attend the Baltimore Business Journal CEO of the Year & the Power 10 Award Ceremony, where our Chancellor Jay A. Perman, M.D., was named CEO of the Year. It was a moment of pride, not just for me, but for all of Coppin State, as I was also recognized as one of the Power 10 honorees.

This honor reflects the dedication and hard work of our entire Coppin community. It showcases the strength and spirit that define our leadership, faculty, staff, and students as One Coppin.

There is so much more ahead of us, and I am confident we will continue to build on this momentum, making an even greater impact together.

Coppin State University's Helene Fuld School of Nursing and Morgan State University co-hosted the 2024 Mentoring for Success with Schools of Nursing on Tuesday, Sept. 10, and Wednesday, Sept. 11. 

This program continues efforts initiated in 2018 by the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action—an initiative supported by the AARP Foundation, AARP, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health. It focuses on improving retention, graduation, and NCLEX passage rates among underserved students enrolled in nursing programs at HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, and American Indian and Alaska Native-serving institutions. 

With over 300 attendees, the event featured interactive workshops and panel discussions where participants learned to enhance their grant writing skills, optimize NCLEX preparation and student remediation, promote health equity initiatives, and reinvigorate mentoring programs.
