Forrest Hamlin,...
... an Oakland County native, is a senior in SVSU’s nursing program and plays on the Cardinal football team.
“Of all the strengths of SVSU’s nursing program, which is one of the best in the state, I feel that the one-on-one, personal relationships students develop with their professors brings you not only closer to the material you are trying to learn, but it also allows you to become closer to the profession of nursing itself.”
“SVSU’s professors serve as more than just information providers; they serve as examples of what it means to be a successful professional. They serve as role models, and in every case, they have become leaders and cornerstones in the field.”
“The emphasis at SVSU is not to simply produce graduates with titles, but instead to produce skilled, knowledgeable, proficient, nurses who are fit to be productive in today’s society.”
“I had many different opportunities to choose from, and I definitely feel that I made the right choice.
“SVSU is the best of both worlds- it is far enough from home to feel the independence that college life offers, yet I manage to see my family nearly every weekend. SVSU offers the opportunities that larger universities can provide, but in a local community.”
“I was recruited to play football here at SVSU, and it was a unique experience for me to find that campus life at SVSU is so huge. On Saturdays at noon, there's always one thing you can count on: eleven players taking the field for the Cardinals with an army of fans behind them!”
“Here, the students in the stands know us as their friends, their classmates, their study partners. This makes every one person at SVSU important in some way. And with multiple campus organizations, everyone has an opportunity to play a part in making this University great. No one person is less important than another.”
“Getting involved is what makes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity enjoyable and not just all books and exams!”
