We talk a lot about healthcare these days, and how much we admire those who are on the frontlines in our hospitals and in nursing homes. But stop and think for a second about nurses—where do they get their training? What is happening to those institutions in the middle of the coronavirus era? Simply, they matter-alot. Today, we’ll talk with Dr. Paula Langteau, (https://www.presentation.edu/student-life/current-students/covid-19-campus-news) President of an institution which has prepared nurses in South Dakota for decades. Presentation College (http://www.pcsaints.com/index.php) is able to maintain the academic curriculum while operating virtually, as well as preparing the students to jump right into the front lines as soon as they graduate. They also have a robust athletics program which includes a number of nursing and medical students.
Also, I was interviewed recently by Matt Leon, reporter for KYW Radio (https://kywnewsradio.radio.com/media/audio-channel/how-much-long-term-havoc-will-covid-19-wreak-on-college-athletics) in Philadelphia about the financial impact for small college athletic programs in particular, and college athletics in general. I hope that conversation gives you something to think about.
