Greetings to my fellow MBL alumni, especially to our newest classmates that just finished with cohort #07 on August 25. I congratulate you on earning your master of business law degree and joining the Friends University Alumni Association.
“Through this program, I’ve learned more about the laws that pertain to different departments of the hospital. It has certainly helped me assist different hospital departments in the legal aspects of what they do.”
I was recently looking at the Friends University web site and found some great information about two of our fellow alumni and how they are using their MBL degree. I thought I would take a moment to share their stories with you.
Major Robert Hinshaw, M’05, of the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office knows a lot about the law. It’s hard-won knowledge developed over a 26-year career in criminal justice. Still, he decided he could use help in approaching the legal issues he faces every day as he oversees the Sedgwick County Jail and its approximately 1,400 inmates. So he decided to go to Friends to earn his MBL degree.
Every day, Jean Turvey, M’05, makes use of the knowledge gained from the MBL program in her role as risk manager for one of Wichita’s largest hospitals. She’s responsible for the hospital’s general liability and medical malpractice insurance. She handles risk identification and reduction. As quality manager, she oversees patient care and looks for ways to improve those services. Daniel Crook, M’05 MBL Class Agent crook.daniel@sbcglobal.net

As a nurse, she was well-versed in the clinical side of patient care. Where she needed help was growing her understanding and interpretation of legalities on the administrative side.
“I decided to study law to challenge myself and to stimulate my brain - the same reasons I orginally went into law enforcement, “ he said. Now, he uses his legal education daily. “What I have learned I have been able to apply to my career. It’s given me a fresh approach to old challenges.” If you have any news you would like to share, please send an email to me.
