The National League for Nursing (NLN) is an organization dedicated to promoting excellence in nursing education. Reinhardt University Assistant Professor for the Cauble School of Nursing and Health Sciences, Dr. Kimberlin Zelinsky, was honored to be a presenter at the annual NLN Education Summit on September 29.
The annual NLN Summit brings nursing educators together from all over the United States. This year’s conference theme was “Extraordinary Nurse Educators Leading in Extraordinary Times” and was held near Washington DC. Dr. Zelinsky presented on the topic of establishing a Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) for Pre-licensure BSN students.
Her presentation was focused on efforts to enhance relationships with clinical partners and empower nurses to mentor students to improve their clinical experiences. She specifically highlighted strategies that are applicable in a variety of clinical rotation models and the benefits to both the health facility and students.

A vocal performance major has found success both in and out of the spotlight. Michael Vavases graduated from Reinhardt with a bachelor’s degree in 2019. He attended with his twin brother Josh, both as first-generation college students.
Since graduation, Vavases’ performance accolades include singing with the Atlanta Opera, the Peach State Opera, and playing Romeo in the Shakespeare performance at Capital City Opera out of Atlanta. He’s performed alongside performers with master's and doctorate degrees, “I am very proud all I needed was my Reinhardt degree.” He has upcoming tenor soloist performances in a music appreciation concert series, in the Capital City Opera dinner series performance of Puccini's La Boheme, and in the Choral Guild of Atlanta’s performance of the St. Cecilia Mass.
When Covid hit, performers were struck especially hard and had to find other means of financial support. Vavases says his musical background helps with the day job he secured managing mechanical engineers. “I am lucky to have not been a statistic. I think it's being a performance major that helped."
