I am Diane Robillard and I am happy to talk with you about the AU College of Nursing.
I have been teaching nursing students since 2003, and enjoy every day.
I am fortunate to work with the Nursing Study Abroad program. Swipe to see the beautiful rainbow was taken in the rainforest of Ecuador last year while traveling with AU students.
I am an alum of AU College of Nursing and all of my kids have attended AU during their education. It is great to be back on campus and working to help educate future nurses during the pandemic. Its an exciting time to be part of health care, as we help support the frontline workers and learn the best ways to use research and caring to help people in need. See you at 4pm on LIVE with a Jag!

Nurse Practitioner, Faculty, and proud Augusta University College of Nursing Alum (2015)

SMCCCD Students' Study Abroad Experiences in Italy Spring 2020

2020 has been an unexpected time for all of us. Wonder what it was like being abroad during the rise of COVID-19? These 3 scholars from San Mateo Community College in CA share their perspectives and offer some guidance. 2 are recipients of the Gilman International Scholarship!

We continue to monitor the health and travel alerts. We plan to run programs in Spring/Summer 2021. Applications open 9/1 so be sure to schedule an appointment with advisor Judy here - calendly.com/aug_studyabroad

Take Me Back Tuesday! We’re day-dreaming of the memories made at Mustard Seed Communities in Jamaica. Read what OT student Erin shared about her experience below 🇯🇲
.
“Mustard Seed Communities is a non-profit organization that provides care to Jamaica’s most vulnerable population - those with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities - that otherwise would be abandoned. As someone that has never been out of the country, I was a bit nervous, but also very excited to combine my love for OT with an international fieldwork! Within the first day, all of my nerves completely disappeared and it was pure love and enjoyment for the rest of the week.
.
Jamaica granted me with unimaginable opportunities to feed residents, perform transfers, implement activities developed by my small group (GO VILLAGERS!), have meaningful conversations with verbal and non-verbal residents, and provided so much room for growth within myself and cohort. This trip is 100% dedicated to engaging with the residents and I was able to see that from sunrise to sunset each day. I’m not surprised that I completely lost my heart while there because each resident had a way of stealing it.💗 I’m so blessed to have been apart of this trip and will carry the knowledge and sweet dance moves I learned forward into my career as an OT!” - @erinep1993
