From the Department:

Even though our programs are designed for educators in the K-12 system, we have a strong history of other professionals enrolling in our programs because of the focus on leadership and education. Those other professions include police officers, hospital administrators, communication directors, and nurses.

Angela Busenius enrolled in our Kamloops cohort as a renal nurse who specialized in diabetes management. Since enrolling in our program, Angela has been promoted from a renal nurse, to a renal nurse educator, to a clinical practice educator. In her new role, she leads, supports, and educates staff and patients. Dr. Jerri Shepard and I nominated Angela for this award because Angela has consistently demonstrated her commitment to leadership and education through service to others.
