²ÝÁñÉçÇø

The goal of the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Undergraduate Nursing Senate (UNS) is to spark change in the ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Nursing community and hear the concerns of the nursing students and faculty who consider Driscoll Hall their home.

UNS participates in many college- and university-wide activities. UNS is proud to play a part in the largest annual student-run Special Olympics event in the world and has a booth at the Healthy Athletes portion of Special Olympics Fall Fest dedicated to education about physical exercise.

In addition, UNS:

· sponsors two American Red Cross blood drives in the fall and spring open to all faculty and students.

· hosts an externship panel in the fall in which a panel of senior nurses helps junior nursing students with application and interviewing advice for externships the following summer.

· hosts a Study Hall Pop-Up in Driscoll Hall on fall and spring Reading Days where tables of snacks and drinks in a centrally located area are provided and refilled all day, in addition to reserved study rooms for nurses only to promote community among students.

· has benefited the Driscoll Hall community through the installation of two hydration stations and has plans for even more improvements.

The UNS executive board consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. There are representatives from every grade in both the traditional and alternative sequence programs as well as a Student Nurses’ Association of Pennsylvania (SNAP) and a Student Government Association (SGA) representative.
