Sitting with a group of fellow nursing students, Stanislaus State’s Ted Elijah shared a story about an encounter he had with a fellow Warrior at a local hospital.

She was an OB patient on the floor he was assigned to work that day, recalled Elijah, a student in the University’s Accelerated Second Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ASBSN) program. He could tell that she was really scared.

When he returned to his native country, Nigeria, for seven months as a Fulbright Scholar, Stanislaus State’s Roland Starn Endowed Chair and Director of Agriculture Oluwarotimi Odeh found the homecoming quite revealing and fulfilling.
