Students Edalyn Shaw, Yasmin Alejandro, and Norah Ezike attended the conference with FNU faculty member Thomas George as part of FNU’s Professional Organizational Mentoring Program (POMP). POMP offers underrepresented nurse-midwifery students and nurse practitioner students the opportunity to be mentored by faculty members at designated conferences, such as the AANP National Conference. It expands students’ learning, educational and professional experiences.

POMP Students with FNU Faculty
FNU hosted an Alumni & Friends Breakfast Reception where alumni, faculty, staff, students and preceptors were able to gather, reconnect and share the work they are doing. Our exhibit booth was busy with prospective students connecting with the FNU community. Many people were able to stop by and take photos with our photo booth and our Top-Ranked Master’s Program banner.
