Yesterday was the second of three summer orientation days, during which students and their families come to campus for important information sessions, a great lunch, and a bit of fun. Check out photos from the Class of 2019 Summer Orientation Days in June and July! What do you remember about your orientation day?

In 2001 Sorrel King's daughter Josie died as a result of medical errors. Consumed by grief Sorrel was determined to honor Josie's memory. She and her husband created the Josie King Foundation. Setting out to prevent patients from being harmed or killed by medical errors, she entered a world unknown to her-the health care industry. Sorrel King has become a nationally renowned patient safety advocate. As a public speaker she travels the country spreading her message to hospitals, doctors, nurses, CEOs, board members, medical/ nursing students and more in hopes that Josie's story will inspire change thus creating a better, safer healthcare industry for us all. 

 

Sorrell King was chosen as one of "50 Women Changing the World" by Woman's Day magazine in February 2010 and is the author of "Josie's Story: A Mother's Inspiring Crusade to Make Medical Care Safe."
