Jessica Mutrynowski, Traditional BSN student, was one of 50 students recognized with a Board of Trustees' Awards. The award was given to those having the highest scholastic average at the close of their last semester in attendance at Michigan State University. They all received a 4.0 GPA. The students were also recognized at spring commencements.

The month of May is Older Americans Month, and this year's theme is "Blaze a Trail." Older adults continue to impact our lives and communities in positive ways. "We can help enrich the lives of all ages through promoting and engaging in activity, wellness, and social involvement," Linda Keilman said.

Elyse Kalil, Traditional BSN student, was inspired by her family members to choose MSU and its nursing major. Both her mother and grandmother are medical professionals. When she was a teenager, she realized that she wanted to pursue this position after nurses had a strong influence on her health. "My time as a student in the College of Nursing has been the most challenging yet rewarding of my life," Kalil said.
