We're here today to break ground on our new  Nursing and Health Sciences building and while

this mound of dirt may not seem like much now  it will eventually become a state-of-the-art  
00:19
academic epicenter for our students seeking to  improve global health through our programs in  
00:25
nursing and health sciences and for our students  studying to enhance health and performance  
00:30
through our sports science program.  We're here to celebrate a commitment  
00:36
to the strong community which we built  together. We are here to honor and thank Bill  
00:43
and Joyce Cummings as they plant a seed of what  will be a fruitful and impactful investment
