Gerald J. Baldasty congratulating Mabel Ezeonwu, associate professor, School of Nursing & Health Studies, UW Bothell

Before Gerald J. Baldasty said his retirement goodbyes, he invited all of us to congratulate Mabel Ezeonwu Associate Professor School of Nursing and Health Studies UW Bothell for her outstanding work and dedication to her contribution to a global learning featured in the Provost Report, The Husky Experience as a Global Experience. He says, "I applaud Mabel's work to partner with the Seattle-based non-profit Guatemala Village Health (GVH) to launch the 12 credit cross-disciplinary course, "Global Health Promotion: Health Services Delivery in Resource-Poor Settings." Together with the UW students, GVH can provide care at unprecedented scale in Guatemala. Mabel's leadership has also ensured that this program is feasible for working students by meeting the Nursing program's core requirements in a convenient hybrid course format, combining online and classroom coursework with field work and team building activities."
