Kira Short is the recipient of Exxact's Trusted Advocate Award in September. Exxat is a clinical placement and curriculum mapping platform. It is used internationally by colleges, universities, and healthcare organizations around the world. Every year, the company hosts a conference where they bring forward new ideas and upgrades to the system but also give university leaders a change to collaborate. Short has spoken at the conference for the past two years as the representative for UTA.
"It was a surprise as they have not had awards before and to be considered among over 150,000 organizations and over 500,000 organization representatives is a huge honor," Short says.
Congratulations to Kira Short on this achievement!

Nursing Students Volunteer
|
On Sunday, September 27, 2026, eight outstanding UTA nursing students from the Nursing Mentor Program volunteered at the Light of the World Church in Dallas for the Community Outreach Flu Vaccine Clinic hosted by Texas Health Resources Faith Community Nursing. The students were accompanied by Dr. Ogidan, who even received her annual flu vaccine from one of the nursing students, Karyna Espinoza.
The NP students, representing J2-S2, worked together to administer more than 80 flu vaccines to community members in just three hours. Alongside their clinical service, they learned about the role of the faith community nurse and experienced firsthand how nursing can improve the health and well-being of individuals within their faith communities. They also learned how to implement faith community nursing in their own local congregations and explored community resources available through THR Faith Community Nursing to support meaningful health initiatives.
