Baltimore Sun February Higher Education Section Features Stevenson Stories

This past weekend the Baltimore Sun published the February edition its special higher education section, and Stevenson is represented in more ways than one.

The section, which is published five times throughout the year, features content about academic programs and campus life from colleges and universities throughout the region. Stevenson is highlighted in three diverse articles.

• In “Making an Impact,” Stevenson’s Faculty in the Halls program is featured. Including interviews with business communication professor Chip Rouse and biology major Chandra Upreti, the article explains how the initiative is aimed at fostering student-faculty relationships.
• The article “Experiential Learning” details Banking On Our Future, an initiative in which Stevenson accounting and education majors work in tandem to visit local elementary schools to explore the concept of financial literacy. The story includes comments from seniors Issa Bangura (Accounting) and Megan Donovan (Elementary Education) as well as accounting professor Vicki Doby and School of Education Dean Deborah Kraft.
• Nursing Chair Ellen Clayton was interviewed for “Preparing Future Nurses,” which discusses how area nursing programs are adapting to an ever-changing healthcare environment. The portion of the article on Stevenson emphasizes the University’s newly formed School of Health Professions as well as the addition of essential classroom and lab space in the New Academic Center at Owings Mills North.

Stevenson University, known for its distinctive career focus, is the third-largest independent university in Maryland with more than 4,400 students pursuing bachelor’s, master’s, and adult bachelor’s programs at locations in Stevenson and Owings Mills.
