Nursing professor heads to hot spot of COVID-19 pandemic
On March 30, Dr. Katherine Kunnen, an assistant professor of nursing at Calvin University, headed to New York City, one of the areas with the greatest need for health professionals to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. She prepared online coursework for her students the week before she left, continues to check-in with them online, and is now modeling for her students the justice-driven, servant leadership values that infuse her classrooms and labs at Calvin.
“This is part of me living wholeheartedly - trying to do my work well at Calvin while also supporting on the ground with the gifts I've been given,” said Kunnen, who is also a 2009 Calvin alum.
