As the Washburn Transformation Experience advisor to the School of Nursing, Louisa Schurig stays very busy.
She's only been working at Washburn for a year and a half, but already she's seeing the benefits the TE experience has on students.
"I believe in the program. I do think it benefits all students and sets them apart," Schurig said. "It can be highlighted on a resume and talking about in an interview. It's a compelling benefit."
This semester, 21 students completed the transformational experience and presented their projects on the day of transformation.
"It's a great forum for presenting what the students have done," Schurig said. "It was pretty amazing what the students have done."
There are mixed opinions about the requirement on Washburn campus as a whole and Schurig said many students come out on the other side assuredly transformed even if they didn't think it would change them when they started.
"I think they go thought with an attitude that they'll just get through it," Schurig said. "But some people come through really changed."
She said there were a couple students this semester who got involved with raising money for cancer research through Relay for Life.
"[They say] they'll be involved for the rest of their lives," Schurig said.
Perusing the projects students presented in April, Schurig said she liked them all.
"They were all pretty unique, whether they studied abroad or did community service or, they were all pretty colorful."
