The program is aimed at all UTA pre-nursing and nursing students who identify themselves as Hispanic.
Activities are open to any student who is interested in the Hispanic culture and leadership focus.
Together they recognized a critical need to identify and provide strategies to encourage enrollment, promote retention, and develop leadership skills within the Hispanic student group. The CTL Program also recognizes the importance of family and community in the Hispanic culture as a significant strength which can be built upon to provide assistance in overcoming these challenges. It is believed that building partnerships between the student, the family, community role models and the school of nursing will promote the successful development of the Hispanic student as a professional nurse. Most programs are presented in an informal lunch-time setting where students have the opportunity to socialize and share their Nursing School experiences in a friendly supportive environment. Activities are announced in classes and via e-mail and are posted on the School of Nursing calendar, bulletin boards, and the web site.
