Korean Nursing Students
Conclude Their Visit to Clayton State
Campus Review
Serving the CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY Community
Vol. 45, No. VI | August 15, 2014
DREAMS. MADE REAL.
Fifteen Daejeon Health Sciences
University pre-nursing and nursing stu-
dents and one nursing faculty member,
Professor of Nursing Dr. Cho Meekyung,
spent four weeks of study at Clayton State
University in July under the tutelage of
the School of Nursing’s Dr. Sue Odom
and Professor Barbara Wiggs.
The visit of the Korean students follows a
trip to South Korea in May 2014 by
Clayton State University President Dr.
Thomas Hynes and Dean of the College
of Health Dr. Lisa Eichelberger. The stu-
dents and their professor arrived at
Hartsfield-Jackson airport on Sunday
afternoon, July 6, and stayed in Clayton
State’s Laker Hall until their departure on
Sunday, Aug. 3. During their visit, says
Eichelberger, the Daejeon cohort learned
English as second language and medical
terminology and experienced health care
in area hospitals and community agencies
such as Grady Medical Center.
The Daejeon visit also provided Clayton
State students with cross-cultural learning
opportunities. Eichelberger emphasizes
that students from Clayton State’s Student
Nurses Association met with the Daejeon
cohort to compare experiences about
health care, cultural health practices and
differences in nursing education between
the U.S. and Korea. In addition, there was
also a cultural component as the Daejeon
cohort visited area churches, malls and
social events with Clayton State students.
“This is so they can get to know college
students and experience college life in the
U.S.,” explains Eichelberger, who coordi-
Beginning Fall 2014
Keeping Pace with PACE
by Dr. Antoinette Miller
Partnering Academics and Community
Engagement (PACE) was originally
developed as part of Clayton State’s SAC-
SCOC accreditation reaffirmation activi-
ties, and officially begins in Fall of 2014.
This initiative focuses on student engage-
ment through community projects that
enhance learning, and represents a won-
derful opportunity for Clayton State stu-
dents to actively engage with surrounding
communities in meaningful, mutually
beneficial ways.
Over the course of the plan, we will be
working to incorporate academic commu-
nity engagement (defined as intentional
efforts within courses to engage students
in planned and purposeful learning related
to service experiences within the commu-
nity to impact student learning outcomes)
in classes ranging from freshmen to sen-
ior, and in various majors. This will be a
major effort, and will require partnerships
across campus and with our community to
build and sustain.
This year, along with launching our first set
of community-engaged courses, PACE’s pri-
mary goals will be to build many of the infra-
structure elements for the plan. These
include mechanisms to find and match proj-
ects with courses, training for faculty in aca-
demic community engagement, support for
development and delivery of community
engaged courses, and identifying and recruit-
ing students as mentors for their peers in
community engaged courses.
I’m very excited about getting started on
this, and we have pulled together an excel-
lent group of faculty, staff, and others from
around the campus and our community to
work together on this endeavor.
