Master of nursing class Chancellor Harris, Faculty, Staff, and Students start the first Master of Science in Nursing at IU Kokomo.
Students enrolled in this first cohort come from Kokomo, Indianapolis, Anderson, Lafayette, Logansport, and Marion, among other communities. Gail Elbert, a nurse from Community Hospital in Anderson, and three of her co-workers became interested because of the face-to-face classroom instruction. "W e were looking for a program with classroom instruction, not so much looking for something online. W e're driving a good distance to be here," she said.

She is the program's first international student, originally from Malawi, Africa. Harris thanked Linda W allace, dean of the School of Nursing, Mary Bourke, assistant dean for graduate studies, and the nursing faculty for their work developing the curriculum.
