Welcome Message for Fall 2010


Dear UHV School of Nursing Students,

Welcome to the new semester! We have the largest enrollment in our history and are excited to welcome each of you! Your faculty have a great store of knowledge that they are excited to share in your quest to advance yourself in the nursing profession as leaders.

Here are some important updates you will see this semester.

First, Black Board will be loaded for your courses on Monday. Faculty are busy getting their courses uploaded this week and will have the syllabi, course schedule, documents, links, calendars, and course information for you when you get to class. The University and SON will use your UHV email account to send and receive communications. Roberto Tonsul, our on-line support technician, will be available to assist you with any questions. His number is 361-570-4299 and his email is tonsulr@uhv.edu.

Second, you will see faculty CVs and undergraduate course syllabi three clicks away on the www.uhv.edu web site. All universities in the State of Texas must meet this “three clicks away” requirement as outlined in HB 2504 legislation.

Next, I want to invite you to Coffee with the Dean this semester. I will meet with students in Victoria on October 5th, and with students in Sugar Land and Cinco Ranch on October 7th. More information will follow.

Ultimately, I wish for you a very exciting semester! The SON faculty and staff are dedicated to helping you learn and explore the many aspects of nursing you will be studying.

Sincerely,

Dean Tart
