The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion met with Kezia Lovell, a graduating senior, to reflect on her experience as a nursing student.
What social activities/clubs are you involved in?
I am currently a member of the Adelphi Christian Fellowship and the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Student Nurses Association, but over my time at Adelphi, I have also been a part of the women’s club soccer team.
Did you have any expectations for your senior year? If so, what were they?
Coming into my senior year, I knew it would be a bit crazy since I would be preparing for life after college. I knew it would be both nerve-racking and exciting.
As you near graduation, what are you most proud of about your Adelphi experience?
I’m most proud of the growth that I have gone through over the past few years. I’ve been able to grow emotionally, spiritually and intellectually, which has been a crazy, but eye-opening, experience.
What contributions would you like to make in the healthcare profession?
I hope to be the nurse who brings patients and families the comfort and encouragement they need to get through the hard times of life.
As it stands now: In your opinion, how can Adelphi best support student success?
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ can best support student success by giving them platforms to be heard and to freely dialogue about the challenges they face to create positive change.
