WELCOME LSON'S NEW ADVISOR
A Conversation with Cindy “Dee” Beard
Dr. Zhan: You have years of experience providing academic advising to students, what can you bring to nursing?
Dee: I have experience interacting with diverse populations in a wide variety of settings. My background includes working in the Academic Counseling Center where I advised pre-nursing students regarding general education and pre-requisite courses needed to facilitate their admission to the nursing school. Additionally, my experience at the Academic Counseling Center provided me with the opportunity to meet and work with offices across campus and to learn about the university’s academic policies and procedures.
Dr. Zhan: You have quickly become an integral member of LSON although you have been with us for just two months. What motivates you and what are your thoughts?
Dee: My motivation comes from different sources. Of course, students are a strong motivating force for me. I really do enjoy working with them and watching their transition from nervous freshmen to confident graduates. My other source of motivation comes from my co-workers. I love working as part of a team. They are the hardest working group of women I have ever encountered. They provide a great deal of support and have warmly welcomed me into the LSON family. They are also a lot of fun! Finally, I love what I do and I want to do it well.
Dr. Zhan: As we start the year 2012, what goals do you have?
Dee: My goals are to continue to acclimate myself to my duties as an advisor and graduation analyst at the Loewenberg School of Nursing. I also want to focus on finding ways to better serve our students in the advising process.
