NEW DEAN BRINGS BOTH CLINICAL AND ACADEMIC
EXPERIENCE TO ESU’S SCHOOL OF APPLIED HEALTH SCIENCES
The first permanent dean of Emporia State University’s School of Applied Health Sciences brings decades of experience as a nurse in both clinical and academic settings. Nicole Webb holds a terminal degree - Doctor of Nursing practice, and is board certified as a family nurse practitioner.
She will begin her new role at Emporia State University on July 6.
As a registered nurse, Webb began working in a hospital setting in 1996. She continued to work in clinical settings including home health and as a nurse practitioner until 2023. She began her academic career at Troy University in 2007 as a full-time faculty member. She currently is chair of the Doctor of Nursing practice program in the College of Graduate Health Studies at A.T. Still University, an osteopathic medical school in Kirksville, Missouri.
“I sought the dean position because I am passionate about leading transformational change in education,” said Webb. “This role offers a unique opportunity to create a collaborative environment where students, faculty and staff can thrive. I am driven by the chance to champion innovation, promote a welcoming environment and address critical challenges in our academic community. My vision is to align institutional goals with the evolving needs of our society, ensuring excellence and accessibility in education.”
ESU’s School of Applied Health Sciences includes programs in counselor education; health, physical education and recreation; nursing and psychology.
“What attracted me to Emporia State University is its commitment to fostering a vibrant, student-centered environment where academic excellence, innovation and inclusivity thrive. The university’s dedication to preparing students for real-world challenges aligns perfectly with my values as an educator and leader,” said Webb. “Additionally, Emporia State’s strong sense of community and emphasis on impactful collaboration create an inspiring atmosphere where I am eager to contribute and grow.”
Webb joins Emporia State midway through construction of a new academic building for the nursing program plus the campus student wellness center. When finished, the nursing program will relocate to a central position on campus where students will enjoy state-of-the-art classrooms and simulation labs.
“Dr. Webb is an experienced leader with the background, expertise and passion to strategically move the school into the future. She is deeply committed to students and fully prepared to strengthen our partnerships with local and regional healthcare providers,” said Thomas. “I am very excited that Dr. Webb will join Hornet Nation as the inaugural dean of the School of Applied Health Sciences.”

The April 6 performance will be Humbletown. Formed in the humble prairie town of Vermillion, South Dakota, Humbletown has emerged as a powerful multi-genre bluegrassinspired ensemble.
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society News of the collapsed women’s prison enraged the Andersons. Bill, as a bushwhacker, had killed mercilessly prior to this attack, but now killing became an end in itself driven by a bloodlust so strong that sometimes he would foam at the mouth during the attack. Yelling the rebel cry, “Bloody Bill” became a monster. In writing to the Lexington, Missouri newspaper editors, he wrote, “If you proclaim to be in arms against the guerrillas, I will kill you, I will hunt you down like wolves and murder you. You cannot escape. I commenced at the first of this war to fight for my country, not to steal from it. I have chosen guerrilla warfare to revenge myself for wrongs that I could not honorably avenge otherwise.” It is true he had lost his mother, his father, a sister, and had seen two others injured. He felt that all he had ever worked for had been destroyed. “I have fully glutted my vengeance. I have killed many. I am a guerilla.” He became a man who lived for death. Eight days later, Quantrill’s attack on Lawrence took place. Quantrill’s raid on Lawrence was a bloody affair ending in 150 Lawrence men dead and many buildings damaged or burned. Women were terrorized as Quantrill’s
bushwhackers dragged men out of their hiding places and killed them as their women begged mercy for their families. The raid itself started at dawn, but for hours through the night, southern mercenaries had slipped across the Kansas/Missouri border, eventually joining as a group for the early morning attack. Led by William Clarke Quantrill, a lean, wiry guerilla captain, well-known all through western Missouri by this time, the bushwhackers sought revenge for the young women who died and were injured in the collapse of the women’s prison in Kansas City. Quantrill’s raid took place on August 21, 1863, when anywhere from 350-450 guerillas moved into Lawrence for the attack. Lawrence, of course, was a free-state abolitionist city, the epitome of the raiders’ desire for revenge. The lust for revenge burned hottest in Bill Anderson who, in his mind, could hear the screams of his sisters beneath the rubble of the women’s prison. Four hours later, Bill’s lust was satiated. He alone had killed more than any other guerilla chieftain, often making his victims crawl at his feet in the dust, begging to be spared. Before departing the town, Anderson told one Lawrence woman, “I’m here for revenge and I have got it.”

DROUGHT-RESISTANT PLANTS AND TREES
A beautiful landscape adds considerable aesthetic appeal to a property and an awe-inspiring lawn and garden can greatly improve resale value. In fact, the American Society of Landscape Architects claims landscaping can increase a home’s resale value by as much as 20 percent, a contention that supports the notion that a lush landscape is something buyers want and are willing to pay for.
Maintaining a lush landscape is no small task, but that job is notably easier when homeowners pick the right plants. The right plant for a property depends on where a home is located, but it’s worth noting that drought-resistant plants and trees may be especially worthy investments. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, 54 percent of the contiguous United States experienced moderate or exceptional drought over the first 10 months of 2024. The NASA Earth Observatory notes that even the southeastern United States, where Hurricane Helene struck and dropped considerable rainfall in the final days of September, was affected by drought, experiencing no precipitation in the month after that devastating storm struck.
When planning a landscape renovation, homeowners must take variables such as climate into consideration, particularly if their end goal is a lush, awe-inspiring lawn and garden. With that in mind, the following are some droughtresistant plants and trees homeowners may want to consider adding to their landscapes.
Trees
The National Arbor Day Foundation notes that droughttolerant trees are ideal as summer temperatures rise in many parts of the world. Drought-tolerant trees can survive in dry conditions, and they also provide great shade that allows people to enjoy their yards even when temperatures rise. The ADF notes that the following are some drought-resistant trees homeowners can consider:
• Eastern redcedar
• Bur oak
• Northern red oak
• Kentucky coffeetree
• Hackberry
Plants
• Scots pine
• Northern catalpa
• London planetree
• Shumard oak
• Live oak
Trees add ample aesthetic appeal to a property, but colorful plants also help to create a stunning setting. Homeowners concerned about drought can consider these plants that various garden experts note are tolerant of dry conditions.
• Aster
• Beardtongue
• Black-eyed Susan
• Bugleweed
• Catmint
• Lantana
• Lavender
• Purple coneflower
• Russian sage
• Stonecrop
Homeowners are urged to work with local lawn and garden professionals when picking trees and plants for their properties. Such individuals can provide insight about species that are accustomed to local conditions and capable of thriving in them even when precipitation is low.

UNIQUE FACTS ABOUT THE
Eiffel Tower
Notable monuments and structures dot the global landscape, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris is among the most recognizable in all the world. A wrought-iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, the Eiffel Tower was completed in 1889, when it served as the centerpiece of the World’s Fair. That’s not the only notable fact about the tower that has mesmerized millions since its completion more than a century ago.
• Though the Eiffel Tower bears his name, Gustave Eiffel was not initially enthusiastic about the structure nor did he design it. The tower was actually thought up by engineers Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier, who both worked for Eiffel’s firm. While Eiffel was initially lukewarm to the engineers’ design, to his credit he encouraged further exploration of the idea, and eventually supported a rendering that combined the ideas of Koechlin and Nouguier and the input of Stephen Sauvestre, who worked as the head of the architectural department at Eiffel’s firm.
• There is a penthouse at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Officials who now oversee the tower indicate the apartment at its summit is 1,076 square feet, making it a comfortable space to utilize as an office and a place to receive distinguished guests. That’s precisely how Eiffel used the space, which was not open to the public upon the tower’s completion.
• The Eiffel Tower was not meant to be an enduring landmark. Though it’s hard to imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, the instantly recognizable structure was initially intended to be a temporary addition to the City of Light’s landscape. La Tour Eiffel notes that the tower was only intended to last 20 years but was saved by the scientific experiments conducted within it. Gustave Eiffel encouraged those experiments, which included efforts at radio transmissions. Indeed, the tower served as a military radio post in 1903 and transmitted the first public radio program in France in 1925.
The Eiffel Tower is among the most recognizable structures in the world and boasts a history that proves it’s as interesting as it is enduring.
