Meet Becky McDermaid...

…a nursing major from Clio. Becky wanted an opportunity to study internationally and was instrumental in organizing 15 nursing students and two professors for a three-week study abroad trip to Australia to study its health care system.

"Your nursing career and nursing education is what you make of it, and I saw this as a perfect opportunity to enhance that," she said. When McDermaid approached her professors about the trip, she found them quite receptive. "One of the benefits of going to SVSU is doors are always open here."
